Blum Brothers General Store
A Living History Attraction
COMING SOON...NEW SHIPMENT OF HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES.
The general store will soon open under new management. The Blum Brothers’ sons have taken over, and they want to open up
the store to visitors. Examine their stock of merchandise and gather round the stove for checkers and gossip.
Visitors may even become store clerks, weighing products, wrapping up merchandise and wrapping packages.
The new interactive General Store will open to the public November 6, 2010.
About the building itself: Originally located on Wolf Street in Dallas,
this General Store was built and operated by Albert F. Mueller, a Jewish
immigrant from Germany. This one-room, frame building with a flat roof and
squared off facade is typical of many store buildings in the region at the turn
of the century.
