I would probably love the place. I have a fondness for old country stores. Each one seems to have something unique about it that makes it different from the previous ones.
There is an old store hereabouts that closed in the 70’s. Full of horse collars, galvanized tubs, kerosene lamps and lanterns. My dad said it was like stepping back into his childhood.
The store still stands, is still closed and is still full of treasures.
When the old couple who ran it died their kids couldn’t bear to sell the property off deciding to keep it as it was. The grandkids and great-grandkids are now taking care of the place.
Its now part of family history. A kind of “this is where we came from”.
Years ago, when the old hardware store closed in my home town, all the old inventory came out, including stuff probably in stock due to the long-ago disappearance of the manufacturers. There was big governor from a steam tractor, I had to ask the old dad what it was.
