Is Chaparral the Oldest Needlepoint Shop?

I'm told Chaparral Needlework opened on April 1st, 1962, which makes it 50 years old.  They are going to have an open house next Thursday, April 26th, to celebrate.  They are posting photographs of their five founders on their Facebook page.  If you have an account, search for "Chaparral Needlework" and look in their photo albums.

I think they might be the oldest continuously operated needlepoint store in the United States. Can any other shop top 50 years?
