Rudy's was closed when we stumbled upon it "Thank you Covid-19!" but we peeked through the windows and what a historical little treasure! Beautifully curated as well, very cool.

I heard about this general store museum from a friend and the fact they have items from 1800 in their original packaging. I tried to visit it, but it's closed the day we were there.
