The Country Store & Antique Shoppe is located on the upper level of the HISTORIC SKYMART, in Downtown Morristown, TN. The Country Store was the heartbeat of the Community where neighbors gathered, sharing important news happening within and outside the Community they lived. Goods were purchased from the storekeeper that could not be manufactured at home. Teas, sugar, coffee, clothing, thread, pots and pans, as well as crops purchased from the Farmer. Cold drinks, along with milk. butter, cheese, and meats were available out of an ice cooler. The Country Store gave credit and loans based on a customer's character, honesty, and ability to pay. Every sort of mail was collected, sorted, and given out. Every inch of space was used and every nail head had something hanging from it. In the Winter season, the Pot Belly Stove provided heat for those who gathered in the store and in the Summer, doors and windows were opened wide! Whittling, chewing, and checkers gave the old timers a sense of passing the time away. And who can forget, as a Kid, the memories of jars of sweet candy? Here at the crossroads of the Old Country Store, is an invitation for you! Come, stand in the doorway or even sit for a while in the Old Country Store. "You'll be caught for sure with one foot in the past and one pointing into the future. Excerpts shared from the writings of, " Country Store", by Jim Harrison
