If you’re craving a dose of nostalgia while shopping for everyday essentials or looking for unique gifts, visit one of Pennsylvania’s charming old-fashioned general stores, such as the Lumberville General Store, writes Kalena Thomhave for The Keystone.
The oldest general store that is still operating in the Keystone State, Lumberville General Store on River Road in Lumberville first opened its doors in 1770 – meaning it is older than the country itself.
While the shop offers a small selection of gifts, the main focus these days is its homemade food.
The location now primarily operates as a restaurant and cafe and has long been known to locals as the perfect spot to connect with friends, make new acquaintances, and enjoy coffee, seasonal food, and delicious sweet treats.
