Located in Walker County, the Villanow General Store is the oldest continuously operated general store in the state of Georgia. The brick structure is adorned with many clues to the past. The store withstood the Civil War and General William T. Sherman's march to the sea. Customers can still purchase a bottled drink from an old Coca-Cola box and a Frigidaire cooler made in 1928. The store is open from 6 am to 8 pm six days a week during summer and closes an hour earlier in the winter.
