Items for Purchase
The Simmons-Wright Company, established in 1884, is more than a store, it was the Dollar General of its day. From selling caskets to trading mules for goods. The history is rich and if only the walls could talk. This is not an amusement park, but a great place to see history, browse antiques, collectibles, and souvenirs and get a taste of good ole southern cooking. This is a place your children need to experience!
Parking & Arrival
Warning! We hate to start with a warning but feel some of our previous campers did not read this information. Highway 11/80 as well as train tracks are within close proximity of where you will park AND TRAFFIC IS FREQUENT FOR BOTH. If you are a light sleeper, please consider other hosts. Now that is out of the way.....here is your parking information; please follow these directions. The grass lot to the east of our store is where you will park. Please be careful as we get a fair amount of rain here; if you drive too deep into the lot on a wet day you may get stuck. If you stay close to the road you should be fine. If you want to park on the paved drive above the grass lot (near the cemetery) you are welcome to; just be sure not to block the drive. Note: We are sorry, but our dumpster is for restaurant use only; please take your trash with you. Enjoy your stay in Kewanee, MS!
