You can get a soda fountain drink, some hard candy fish and even a sandwich at this southern Indiana landmark.  Schimpff’s Confectionery is one of the oldest, family-owned candy stores in the United States.  The business started more than 150 years ago when Magdalene Schimpff, a widow, settled in Louisville and her sons started making candy.  A few years later, the family moved to Jeffersonville where the candy shop is a landmark on Spring Street.
