After dinner we walked to this store for some delicious ice cream. They have lots of varieties to chose from. We have had ice cream here before on a trip to Saluda. They don't have many places to sit, however, just a couple stores away the is a little park between two buildings where you can sit. It also is a gift shop.

Wonderful stop at this store and chatting with the elderly gentleman who runs it. He took time to pull out an old "history" book of the area and showed us how this is the REAL oldest store in the state. Definitely worth a visit! We bought some farm fresh eggs and cooked them over the fire at our camp.
