A favorite place of ours in North Georgia. We hadn't been there in years, and recently found it had changed little.
1/320, F2.8, ISO 250 hand held. cloudy day. recolored for antique look . some cloning to remove a couple of "modern" signs and reflections.

yes, it was early l870s or so. When you go in the front, the whole area is like "Little HOuse on the Prairie" general store, except no one has used it as a store for years! The shelves are full of stuff from back then. Walls covered with old signs, etc.

The back of the store is a "nice" gift shop. It used to be owned by a Scandinavian couple, so they had lots of stuff from there, but it's now more North Georgia, Smokies stuff.

A great stop in. Near Helen, GA.
