Take a step back in time in a third generation, family-owned general store. Built in 1888 and one of Stokes County’s historic landmarks, this store is packed with some of everything from the past and present. Grab your self a moon pie and a Pepsi. Take in some local culture. Or just have a seat on the front porch and enjoy the breeze.

The store has been owned and operated by the Priddy family since 1929. Like many stores of the era, it was more than a location to acquire the staples needed to survive, it provided news, entertainment and a sense of belonging to the community. Stop by and see why there is so much nostalgia attached to this general store and if you are lucky, you will find something cooking in the big black pot and music on the lawn.

The booths are packed with history, arts, crafts, hard-to-find items and handcrafts. The store is located just 12 miles from Hanging Rock State Park and is a great way to spend an afternoon. Owner Cathy Dix is fond of quoting her grandmother saying, “if you can’t find it here, you don’t need it.”
