Open since 1875, and apparently, it's still open today for business!
A trip to Jefferson just isn't complete without visiting the charming general store full of antiques and collectibles!
Opened in 1849 as a trading post, it's still up and running today as a gift shop, complete with souvenirs and a wide variety of western items. Plus, there's even a small bar at the back! Why not have a cold beer while you shop?
Fischer is a very small community in Comal County, but unfortunately, their general store is no longer in operation. Just looking at it will make you nostalgic, though!
10 miles north of Temple, you'll find the small town of Troy. While the general store is now closed, it's nice to take a ride and reminisce about the good ol days.
Still open today from what I understand, the back of this small town general store is now serving as the town's post office. Mumford is 20 miles north of Bryan and College Station.
Key is 52 miles west of Snyder, and while its general store is closed for business, the shabby, antique vibe certainly takes you back to days gone by!
This town dried up in 1974 when the main highway bypassed the town to the east, and now little remains here except for the closed down general store and a few other abandoned buildings.
This is one of the oldest general stores still in operation today, so definitely stop by if you're driving through!
I'm pretty sure this isn't open anymore, but if anyone knows any differently, feel free to comment below!
