Abstract:

Patterson's Mill Country Store, located between Durham and Chapel Hill, combines a country store with a museum. Following authentic 19th century store plans, owners Elsie and John Booker built their store using boards from old warehouses and stores, and opened Patterson's Mill in 1973. The Bookers travel all over the country for their treasures, and devote one room to North Carolina handicrafts. Although still not very well-known, the Bookers' store is starting to gain attention nationally as well as internationally.
