THE GENERAL STORE
in a Pioneer Community
The GENERAL STORE in a pioneer community often looked like the one in the picture. The store was on the main floor. The two large windows were used to display some of the goods that were sold inside. A storage shed at the back of the store was for large items like farm equipment, tools, building supplies, etc. The storekeeper and his family lived on the second floor.
