Cake 129-Head's General Store/St. Albans

Found November 2, 2014


I must say I was not expecting the beautiful golf course, country club, and residential homes located here on our drive out.  It reminded me of Stars Hollow for all you Gilmore Girls fans out there. 

Germans settled on Tavern Creek in 1834 due to a clean source of water.  In 1837, the town of St. Albans was officially laid out.  The general store was constructed in 1893. The flood waters of 1993 nearly reached the store, but it was saved by 3,000 sandbags.
