DC is a fascinating place that combines the present and the past on every corner. But even in a place like DC it’s hard to find a quaint general store that will take you back to yesteryear. However, the one exception to that is Franklins Restaurant, Brewery and General Store. This charming general store is quite the experience and everyone will love it.

Franklins Restaurant, Brewery and General Store is located just past the DC-Maryland border in Hyattsville.
