Take a step back in time at the Bay City General Store. Built in 1915, this store was operated as a general merchandise store until 1973 when the owner passed away. We bought and reopened the store in 2005 as an antique and gift store. We have tried to recreate the store as it was many years ago. An old oak thread cabinet, much like the one pictured here, greeted you as you walked through the door. Ms. Tressie was more than ready to measure out your fabric using her yardstick nailed to the countertop and it's still there although time-worn in many places. We are blessed to still have the old store ledgers and neighbors that grew up here enjoy looking through them to find their relatives. Others like to look at the prices from the 20's and 30's.
We hope the next time you are passing through you'll take a minute and step back in time.
