Warm up by their potbellied stove in the winter months, mail a letter at our antique post office, and discover why some times are just too good to leave behind.
Mast General Store is located on Hwy 194 in Valle Crucis. The more things change; the more they remain the same. The Mast General Store has changed little over its 100-plus years. It was once known as the store that had everything from “Cradles to Caskets.” These items are no longer available, although there is a “coffin” on display upstairs, but many of the staple items for households many years ago that are hard to find now are among Mast’s vast product selection. Come in and “set” a spell and listen to the stories the Mast Store has to tell.
