This is a store called Brown and Hopkins. It is one of my favorite childhood memories.

The printed journaling reads:
Rhode Island has a number of hystorical landmarks that date back to the 1700's. Among them is Brown & Hopkins Country Store.It has been reported by the Bond Map Company of New York to be the oldest country store in continuous operation in the United States.The building was erected in 1799 by Timothy Wilmarth. In 1809 the building was purchased by Ira Evans who started the buisness as a general store. After several changes in ownership it was then purchased in 1921 by James L. Brown and William W. Hopkins. Brown and Hopkins operated the store until 1964 when it was purchased by Roscoe and Lillian Steere.

My journaling reads:
As a childI spent the summers in Chepachet Rhode Island.On a hot August day we would pile in the car for a trip into town. Whoever was driving knew that they couldn't pass Brown & Hopkins without stopping.Brown & Hopkins sold many things,but if you were a kid,the most important thing was Penny Candy! Just inside the front door to the right was a glass case full of Candy. We would each get a Quarter and you had to wait your turn.You could choose from Flying Saucers,Shoestring licorice , wax bottles,Rootbeer Barrels, Pixie Stix and Mary Janes...just to name a few.

It feels good to scrap again.....Thanks for the inspiration ,Lee Ann.
