12. General Store
This cabin was donated by Dave and Carl Lichte in 1986. It was in the center of a farmhouse being taken down. The logs were numbered and then it was reassembled here. We have tried to make the store look as a general store would have looked in the late 1800’s. There is a post office in one corner of the general store -- the original Hillpoint Post Office, the post office here, which was commonly found in a general store or sometimes in someone’s home. From needles and thread to crocks and bread cradles, bags of flour and corset to tools and nails, it was the one stop shop of the 1800s.
