“A true general store where you can get daily household or office items--like cleaners or notepads--as well as souvenirs and gifts. Also stocks made-in-store and locally produced foods like peanut butter, soup mixes, jams, spices, and candies. The Eatery cafe is open at noon with a limited sandwich menu. Friendly, helpful folk.”
