The Williamsburg General Store was built in 1876 and has been owned by the Majercik Family since 1977. Much of the original store is still in evidence. Drawers with numbers tell the nail size (8, 10, and 12 penny, for example). Today the drawers hold all manner of merchandise – from locally hand-made soaps to bags of herbs and spices, and a wide variety of trail munchies. Customers today walk on the same oak floorboards as people 140 years ago. Original shelves carry today’s merchandise while wood ceilings have proven handy for goods which display best when hung. Today the Williamsburg General Store boasts a variety of offering such as an in-house bakery, ice cream shop, handcrafted American jewelry, snacks and specialty foods, along with toys and novelty items.—wgstore.com
