This store must be what a general store used to be in small towns all over. There's something of…read moreeverything here.
Depending on which door you enter, you'll see general merchandise, like garden, kitchen, picnic, bath supplies, and some local jams, jellies, honey, or clothing -- ordinary everyday clothing: jeans, t-shirts, shoes, hats, along with general house decor.
In amongst the merchandise are old pictures and newspaper clippings documenting the history of the store in the community and the family that opened it.
Expecting clothing, and there was that, in abundance, it's the downstairs that had me in equal parts amazed and claustrophobic. The downstairs is filled, as in stuffed to the ceiling, with work clothing including boots, shoes coats. Writing that it's stuffed to the ceiling is truer than not because the ceiling is low. The pipes and ductwork are lower still but mostly down the center of the store. It's well-lit, but yikes -- I couldn't stay very long.
This is a classic small town general store. No need to go to anywhere else because if you just need the essentials or the basics, one stop here will do that.
