Ruddy’s 1930s General Store Museum

This original 1930s general store shows amazingly preserved original products from groceries to medicines, beauty aids to clothing and hardware, with period showcases and signage.

It's the nostalgic marriage of the collection of local boy Jim Ruddy with a museum he acquired from a Great Depression–era liquidator from the Midwest.
