Before the days of large super stores, there
was the general store. Villagers could buy 
everything from food to fabric, pick up their
mail, purchase gifts and even catch up on the
news of the community all in one stop. In our
General Store, you can shop for a wide
selection of gifts, treats and treasures from
collectible dolls, tins and hard to find kitchen
items to ‘penny’ candy, decorative rubber
stamps and more!
