Historic Penn's Store

[Deleted]

GRAVEL SWITCH — Penn's Store, billed as Kentucky's oldest continuously operating country store, has experienced flooding more than once.

Which is to be expected, because the store that straddles the Boyle-Casey County line sits near the confluence of the North Rolling Fork River and Little South Creek.

Nice post cavey, wish I could be there. We had an old store like that growing up. Long gone now. As with most things. I have mixed feeling about progress and the past. I like progress??? but I sure do miss the past. I think I was much happier back then. Just didn't know it, but I do now. CF

bro, thats great they care to restore this old store...we need more pholks concerned with preserving the past...
times & technology movin much faster nowadays...was easy fer younguns to miss out on things like this ...15 years ago,
but now, with all the hi-tech crap...it's even easier for our past to become invisible, be it not for folks like this
nice old building Bro!!
