12. The Country Store - Mrs. Thomas and her carpenter Mr. O. A. Buchanan replicated this structure with part of the double corn crib and old lumber to create form a typical nineteenth-century mercantile store. General stores were just that. They had a little bit of everything. Customers could get a bath or haircut, have their shoes shined, purchase gas and kerosene, and buy a variety of provisions. In addition to a bathtub and shoeshine chair, the store houses a mercantile collection which includes old store furnishings, signs, period merchandise and collectibles.
