You'll take a step back in time when you enter Patterson's Mill Country Store. Part museum, part shop, it has the look and feel of a turn-of-the-20th-century store—it's filled with antique signs and mercantile memorabilia. One section of the store is a replica of a 1920s-style doctor's office, and displays the pharmaceuticals, ointments, and salves that were common in that era.
Newer items are available for sale, such as the store's own line of jams and jellies, handcrafted pottery, dolls and sock puppets, sterling silver jewelry, and dollhouse kits.
