Approximately one hour from my home is a neat little antique store. The building is an old general store that was built in 1873 and served as a merchantile for several towns, as well as, several counties in the area. In front of the old general store is a train track which runs from New York to Florida. The train delivered 'goods' to the general store the entire time the store was in business. The tracks are in operation today and we were fortunate to see the train come by.
There 'she' is.....
...there 'she' goes!!!!!!!!
As we were walking to the old store, this beautiful dog "greeted" us.
The front porch...
other end of front porch,
and, or course, I love this blue little bench!!
The other end of the porch....
with the cutest little red toy fire engine.
Bars on window and old galvanized tub.
On the other side of this little door, the store owner kept his 'goods'
behind locks and keys and I mean "locks"....there were approximately 15
locks on the back of this door!!!
