Why it belongs

An active rural store shares its historic property with a focused collection of community, Appalachian and fly-fishing artifacts.
Coffey’s General Store & Museum continues a community-store tradition that the business dates to 1895. The small retail floor carries local gifts, souvenirs, antiques and general-store finds, while the connected museum preserves loaned and donated objects tied to Edgemont, Mortimer, Wilson Creek, Southern Appalachian life and fly-fishing. Museum artifacts are not represented as sale inventory. The property’s former post-office role is historical and is not advertised as a current postal service.
