Items to 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!
