Dayton General Store

Ohio History

Old-Fashioned Shopping

On a lighter note, one room of the Wright-Dunbar Interpretive Center was set aside as a general store from the early twentieth century. It was amazing to see all the boxes and cans already lining the 'grocery store' shelves! We enjoying posing by the life-size figures dressed in period clothing in the store. We looked a little out of place in the pictures though! I enjoyed examining the variety of colorful cans lining the shelves. There were even bins of (fake) dried fruit waiting to be scooped out.
