11 Randolph St., (209) 267-1431. Thur-M by appt. Free.
Located on a side street, the Monteverde General Store Museum is the actual interior of an 1890s general store. The store opened in 1896 and has been preserved as it was when it closed for business in 1971. The shelves are loaded with appropriate merchandise—dry goods, clothing, penny candy. Look for the original cast-iron pot-belly stove and an ornately carved oak icebox that is set into the wall. Note that hours are not set are dependent upon the availability of volunteers.
