General Store Display

   On the lower level of the museum, this display captures an everday part of life
in times past.  Every neighborhood had a small store, or “grocery”, where basic
foods were purchased, and everyday household items could be bought. 

The shelves of the display are filled with old items still in their packages, including soaps, stove
polish, glass lantern chimneys, and small bits of hardware.  The store is “heated” with
an antique potbelly stove, a checkerboard is ready for the local old gentlemen to stop
in for a game and a bit of gossip, and the store proprietor is standing proudly surveying
his tidy, well-stocked store.
