Subject: Any Recollection of the Johnson Store?
I have been so impressed with the depth of knowledge over such a tremendous expanse of items and issues presented on this Chatlist. What a fantastic resource! That being said, I thought I’d cast a wide net and see if I might be able to tap into it for a bit of enlightenment myself…
Does anyone have any photos of, knowledge of, or personal experience with the old Johnson Store that stood at the crest of Lindo Johnson Road in Pittsboro? It would have been built sometime circa 1900 (coinciding with the house), and I’m not certain what year it operated until. We recently purchased the family’s farmhouse, and seek to have a better understanding of the history of the land we have fallen so much in love with!
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
