This is the coolest store, gas station and deli. Stopped by for a look. Had lunch. Chili and grilled cheese . Best tasting hamburger I've had in a long time . Very nice coworkers. Love these places. It's what America is all about.

You have to see this place! An albino peacock, an alpaca, a rooster... A bunch of old machinery, some railroad cars, a caboose. One of the coolest, oddest things you’ll ever see. Touch anything you want - very little is fenced off or inaccessible. Plus, the only true General Store I’ve ever seen on the east coast. From candy to hardware and back again, this “Exxon” has a bit of everything. Do eat elsewhere, however. The cafeteria/diner/restaurant or whatever they call it “serves” small, tasteless portions of horrible food so slowly and inefficiently it bears mentioning only as a caution: don’t eat here. The rest is a must-see. Perfect destination for a scenic drive with the top down or on your motorbike.

2023 A great stopping point on route 50. You can buy gas, use the facilities, have a cold drink and a meal at the counter restaurant inside, and shop for all sorts of things. Shakes, sundaes and soft serve ice cream are available for a treat. Nice place to rest on a long drive. Great shady picnic tables. Covered bridge. Antique tractors and rail cars for kids to climb on. 2018 This is a great stop and relax place when traveling on route 50. The wonderful collection of train cars, steam engines, and farm machinery is like a free museum you can touch and explore. My sons always loved to stop here and check it all out!

Quirky, fun piece of Americana owned and operated by the same family for almost 100 years. Great home made deserts, park with tractors, mining equipment, and the miscellaneous donkey, llama, chicken, etc...

I LOVED this place!! My fiance took me there to show me a place he has been to many times in his life!! It was like stepping back in time! The U shaped 50's counter was awesome!! We had one of their famous foot long hot dogs!! It was great! Then we walked around a bit to see all the antique tractors and farm equipment. They also had a few farm animals!! Pretty little place to stop and check out!!

Charming, historical park filled with beautifully decorated abandoned decades old farming tractors, trains and other farming equipments. Plus adorable peacocks, donkeys, turkeys and other birds roaming the park.

Great food, staff is very friendly and helpful to tourists. The train museum in their park is an adventure in history. Even the animals are friendly and nice!
