Country stores were very important during the time frame. Just like there were lots of small school houses, there were lots of small country stores that the county's residents depended on for their basic needs due to lack of transportation. Residents may have visited the Fayetteville downtown area at the most once a week but most heavily depended on local country stores that were usually within walking distance from their homes. These country stores a lot of the time also acted as a post office for their area. This display features an array of items that you would have seen in a typical country store from an old cash register and postage slots to washboards and flour sacks. Of course, all the old country stores like this are gone today with transportation not being an issue and big box stores taking their place.
