Thursday Teas

December 19: Talking Shop: From General Stores to Five and Dimes

Just in time for the holiday gift-giving season! Many people wax nostalgic for the bygone era when the employees at the "mom and pop" store on the corner knew their name and all of their shopping preferences. THV History Interpreter Tom Arwady shares the story of how general stores were the center of activity in early American villages and how they were later replaced by variety nickel and dime stores like Kresge and Woolworth. 

Sponsored by Oakmont Manor and Oakmont Sterling?
