The museum brings to life the historical general store, which is listed on the State and National Registers for Historic Places. The exhibit will be offered from 10 am to 2 pm every Monday.

The popular living history program, featuring a historical interpreter, will be expanded from once a week to Tuesdays and Thursdays. General admission to the museum is $5 and $3 for children ages 5-17.
