Abstract:

Organized by farmers in 1888 in Siler City for the purpose of buying, selling, and exchanging goods and farm products, the Farmers Alliance Store is still in business, although changed over time. Citizens have petitioned the state to create a downtown historic district and to place a historical marker in the store, which is Siler City's oldest operating business.
