The General Store was named after Stephen’s great-grandfather, Patrick Murphy, who ran a general store in Chebanse, IL, in the 1800s. The store is filled with items collected by the Bakers over a 50 year period. The kerosene parlor light hanging in the store came from a mansion in Virginia City. It was stored for over 100 years in a camelback trunk in Adin, CA. Thousands of items are on display, including the original coffee barrel from Patrick Murphy’s general store. The price tags reflect 1905 values.
