Sixty-four villages and towns were thoroughly examined by the authors, who rediscovered lost stories, pictures and information about the well-known, and even the long forgotten, general merchandise stores of Lancaster County’s beautiful “Southern End.”
You will find out about the store buildings, the store owners, their families, whether they owned or leased their store, and how long they served their community.
Learn of the types of store goods that once crammed the shelves and store rooms of those predecessors to the modern grocery, hardware, clothing and shoe stores.
The authors discuss how the store’s village or town was named, and, if the store had a post office, who the postmasters were, as well as when they held the postmaster’s job.
- This is a 9” x 12”, 500 page “coffee-table” book which has been lavishly illustrated with color or sepia images throughout.
- A journey of rediscovery for any history buff and especially for anyone who is interested in southern Lancaster County, Pa.
