@melissathemousedetective: Penn’s Store is the oldest country store in America and on the Register of Historic Places. The store is located right outside the tiny town of Gravel Switch, Kentucky. They have been in operation since 1845, and is still owned and operated by the original family. Once a post office and apothecary, the store served the locals as a gathering place and important shopping area selling farming tools, medicines, and more. If you’re interested in visiting, they’re on Facebook and they have a web page. Check times for operating hours. #roadtrip #smalltown #Kentucky #melissathemousedetective #travel #travelagent #gravelswitch #pennsstore #countrystore #apothecary #postoffice
