The mid-1800s Pendergrass General Store building traces the development of goods available to small town residents over time. Particular emphasis is given to household items, the development of textiles from home spinning to "store bought," and the advancement in canned goods with improvements during America's Industrial Age and the dawn of marketing. The Pendergrass general store can easily be modified and used to film a historical general store scene.
