General Mercantile Store

General Mercantile Store

Reconstruction of this mid 19th-century building was completed in 1995 after it had been moved from the village of Fredericksburg. It recreates the atmosphere of a turn-of-the-century general store which has now passed from the rural scene.

Also located within the country store is a recreation of an early 20th-century ladies dress shop where vintage fashions at their finest can be seen in seasonally-changing exhibits. The Society holds an outstanding collection of early textiles, with some pieces dating back to the 18th century
