THE OLDEST  IN THE HOOSIER STATE

If you're from the Southern Indiana region then there's no doubt that you have
heard of Indiana's oldest restaurant, The Log Inn.  The Log Inn first opened as
a stagecoach stop and trading post in 1824.  So with the oldest restaurant in
Indiana being in southern Indiana, it had me wondering, where is the oldest
store in Indiana? It was a bit of a struggle to find the exact oldest store in
Indiana, but it seems the overwhelming consensus is that the oldest store
(that's still open) is a small general store.


THE CATARACT GENERAL STORE

Located on an unassuming road in Spencer, Indiana sits a picturesque little
roadside general store that has been serving the Hoosier state for more than 163
years.  According to Atlas Obscura, the Cataract General Store fuses vintage
Americana with more modern-day items as well.  Included some food and drinks
too.

> The store is packed wall-to-wall with traditional general store items like
> local jams, cast iron skillets, and wicker baskets. There is also a collection
> of more modern treasures such as funky rubber ducks and toy walkie talkies.
> It’s also a great place to find items that showcase true Hoosier pride.
> Outside the store, visitors will find a small library that encourages guests
> to grab a book.

WALKING DISTANCE FROM CATARACT FALLS

If you've ever wanted to soak in some stunning nature sights,  Cataract Falls
located on Cagles Mill Lake are a must-see and a very popular destination for
Hoosier nature fans.   Cataract Falls, are located about 2 hours from Evansville
and are walking distance from the Cataract General Store so you could make a
whole day out of visiting this quaint old store and seeing beautiful
waterfalls.  But be aware the Cataract General Store is only open on weekends
Friday through Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM.
