Remembering When the Local Stores were the Center of the Community

A recent addition to our collection is Country Stores of Mississippi by June Davis Davidson, a resident of Mississippi for over 50 years.

Inside is a collection of images, stories and, in some cases, addresses to the country stores that are still open.  Some have become antique stores, restaurants, and even museums but still show signs of their past lives from when they were the cornerstones of their communities.  The stores are grouped by county.  Both entries for Warren County are located in Bovina : Buck's General Store and The Old Store.

Looking through the book, the photographs and stories of the local stores  that have been gathered by Davidson are enjoyable reading as well as an interesting lesson in local history.
