The Old Mission General Store

by deecat

The Old Mission Peninsula has many unique places to visit, and one of the most unique, I bellieve, is The Mission General Store. This store has been at this location since the mid 1800s. It looks pretty much the same way today.

You can have a meal in the parlor; there are pickles and candy from barrels, all manner of supplies and provisions, and wine, beer, and spirits are also sold.

They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner with 5 cent coffee! They also have fresh sandwiches made to order, deli and baked goods, Pizza, Ice Cream and a Fountain.
I actually found the old-fashioned gum that I love: Beechnut, Black Jack, and Clove. That set the deal for me because it is very difficult to find those gums

This is like an old trading post, stocked to the brim the all kinds of merchandise. What an enjoyable visit we had there!

This small city along the lakeshore is quite a delightful little town. Full of opportunities for boating, fishing, hiking, camping, and generally relaxing and enjoying the long summer days. They are famous for their cherries, nicknamed the 'Cherry Capital' complete with a Cherry Festival. Even their airport is named the Cherry Capital Airport.
