MILTONSBURG GENERAL STORE

 

 

MILTONSBURG GENERAL STORE at the time this photo was taken it was known as the Hinderlong Store

 

We are fortunate to have several pictures of this Miltonsburg store on this web site. The original of this photo taken in the early 1900s is a rare photograph in that the image is printed on a silk cloth or screen. The details of how this was done are no longer known. This building, which is still standing, is located on Lot # 10 in the center of Miltonsburg. Over the decades it was owned and/or operated by the following individuals. The chronological order of the owners is about right although, except as shown, dates are not available.

Homer Landefeld
