Welcome to Hill Hardware

If you have ever set foot in Hill Hardware you know that this is a building full of history. The butter churns and horse collars that are on the main floor, a large wooden ship placed on the catwalk above and the wood floor that creaks beneath your feet are all signs that this is no ordinary hardware store. Over the years Hill Hardware has made necessary changes to adapt to the times while also maintaining the look and feel of an old fashioned store. 

In December 2025 Ryan Breakfield took over Hill Hardware after previous ownership retired. Breakfield is continuing the old traditions while bringing in new and modern options for the town of Columbia. He remembers walking into the store as a child and how the old floors creaked beneath his feet, "It is a memory I won't forget," he said. Breakfield is a good addition to Hill Hardware ownership because of his long standing relationship with the store and town itself.
