UNCOVERING HISTORY:
As many of you already know we are restoring the original home to Deer Creek Mercantile. This store was built in 1905 & it's over 5,000 square feet. We are so excited to be restoring it. We still have a long way to go but everyday more progress being made!
A little bit of paint goes a long way...
Looking better already!
Uncovered the old side - sidewalk! WOW, beautiful.

In the winter when the ice comes, on the north side of the store that brick sidewalk can be slippery, so watch out when the ice comes. This is where most customers parked: on the north side. Along this brick wall Dad had a wire (maybe 4 feet high) and fastened Christmas trees to it, for sale.

Awesome! How well I remember walking this sidewalk that led to Peg’s house that our folks, James and Ann Michael, rented for a few years while restoring the Michael Homestead in the 70’s!
