Step back into time to shop at the general store. Here you can find a broad selection of useful items for the home and farm.
Only a short drive from St. Augustine takes you back in time to Florida's rural past. Near the town of Palm Coast a visitor finds themselves at the Florida Agriculture Museum. Visitors may explore on foot or by tractor pulled trailers. Among the museums exhibits are the Caldwell Dairy Barn, a 5,000 square foot open air building is a reconstruction of Florida's Governor Caldwell's 1940s dairy barn; the Strawn Citrus Complex of five historic citrus farm buildings was moved to the Museum and has been restored back to it's 1940's appearance; the original Whidden-Clark Pioneer Homestead built in 1880; and the Traxler Commissary.
The commissary provided all the necessities: this 1890's store was stocked with canned goods, tools, furniture, lamps and other items needed for daily life. Goods were bought for cash or traded using a barter system. Special items could be ordered from as far away as New York City. The commissary was the place to meet neighbors and exchange news and gossip.

When I grew up there was a older building that housed the local clothing store. As a young girl, it was a marvellous adventure to go in there and shop. With this image, I can hear the floors creak, see the massive glass and wood counters, and even the smell the air. Thank you for stirring the most wonderful memories with this marvellous image. Well done, Dawn! L.F
