Located in a small, unique hamlet of Taylor City consisting of two states, two counties and two towns, Ye Olde Sale Shoppe is housed in an olde country store. Built in 1815 by Benjamin Taylor, it served as a post office, stage stop and general store selling yard goods, grain and staples of the day. Before the Industrial Revolution, clothing was shipped in pieces by train and stagecoach, and women
of the community got together and did the sewing upstairs at the shoppe. The finished product would then be shipped back to the city for distribution. Years have passed and many changes have taken place at Ye Olde Sale Shoppe; however, its ownership still remains in the Taylor family. The shoppe is now owned and operated for the last 49 years by William Taylor. The stage doesn't stop here anymore, the post office has moved several times and ladies may still be sewing, but at home. Ye Olde Sale Shoppe is now one of two on the corner, and the second, "Country Gas" Convenience store being owned by Mat and Becca Taylor. When you visit us, you almost see the stage, hear the sounds of yesteryear and relive the slower, simpler life of days gone before. The shoppe houses an eclectic collection of antiques, collectibles, gifts and whimsies tastefully arranged in a two stories. Open 6 days a week from 10AM-5PM. Closed on Tuesday through December 31st.
