About Us
I was raised in this wonderful village known as Byrnesville
My Mother worked here in the store, for the stores final years. Sadly the Crean General Store closed in 1967.
I have so many fond childhood memories of coming into the store. One of my favorites was just walking in and seeing my mom.
I can remember standing in front of the counter asking mom for a piece of candy. Even as a child I loved the smell of the old oiled wood floors. There were lazy days of sitting on the porch listening to the grown ups visiting with the farmers and their families
Efforts to transform the store into living quarters were begun in 1970 by previous owners. It changed hands yet again in 1976 as renovations continued.
In 1984, Chris and I were given the opportunity to make it into our dream home.
I have lived in this little town of Byrnesville my entire life.
Chris and I married in 1978. We moved all of the way across the street.
We have lived and raised our two sons here.
The Store was like our third extremely spoiled child.
For me, it was like buying a piece of my childhood. It has taken a tremendous amount of work, love and devotion, over the years to get it to this point.
As a side note, The General Store was featured on an
episode of " You Live in What?" on HGTV. Yes, we look goofy.
Our latest endeavor has been the renovation of our old barn. In the past it has housed our cows, chickens and many prized possessions. Now it has been transformed into a charming whimsical place of pure relaxation and comfort.
