This Delightful General Store In West Virginia Will Have You Longing For The Past

There’s nothing more charming and nostalgic than a general store, and West Virginia has several. O’Hurley’s is a quaint little shop in Shepherdstown. Take a look!

You'll find O'Hurley's General Store at 205 E. Washington Street in Shepherdstown.

One of the very best things about O'Hurley's is its owner Jay. Rumor has it that Jay was actually born upstairs!

Every proper general store has a store cat. This is Murphy.

You might find Murphy looking adorable, curled up on any one of several shelves. He apparently has a thing for Raggedy Ann dolls.

This shop has many original fixtures throughout, including this counter.

The handmade furniture is gorgeous.

You'll definitely want to snuggle up near the original hearth on a chilly day.

On really cold days, Jay fires up this stove, which makes everyone nice and toasty.

O'Hurley's offers plenty of antiques and collectibles, so if you're feeling nostalgic and want to own a little piece of history, this is the place.

You'll also find plenty of handmade items here. Depending on the season, you might find baskets of warm mittens and hats...

...or beautiful, hand-crafted bird houses.
