Step back in time in this historic hardware store that looks the same as when it opened more than 100 years ago. Built in 1899 to serve the growing community of Mooresville, this historic building and the interior fixtures remain unchanged today. There are also many examples of 19th and 20th century hardware to see. A great learning experience for kids and an overall fascinating place to visit.
