The Wayside Country Store was built in 1790 and stood in the center of Sudbury, where it was used as a post office, general store and school. On the second floor was a grand ballroom. Henry Ford purchased this building in 1928 and moved it by oxen to its present site on Hager Pond. The store's interior is still much the same as when Henry Ford ran it. It was the first country store in the United States to be re-established and restored. A dam located at one end of the pond accounts for the store's logo, The foundation of the Wayside Country Store was made from boulders dug from the grounds, and the basement supporting pillars are huge tree trunks. The stairs leading from the cellar are hand carved from solid wood logs and the steps are held together with wooden pegs. Mr. Ford arranged it so the pegs in every third step were loose and creaked when stepped on to give notice of any burglar climbing the stairs.
