The general stores were the first store to sell ointments, salves and other medical remedies prior to the local drug 
stores or apothecary shops being established. The drug stores and shops offered many products in addition to drugs and remedies. They sold cosmetics and other hygiene and first aid products.
The Drug Store’s Soda Shops became popular in the early 1900’s, offering cold drinks, sodas, ice cream, sandwiches and desserts. It soon became a hang-out for kids after school and after the movie.
The items on display are donated from families in Wilson County.
The drug store was build in 1998.
