Another post on the gorgeous museum village of Pilgrims Rest, which we
visited late last year. As per previous posts, most buildings are as
they were in times gone by and are being used as actual stores,
hotel space or living museums ... This blue building is the original
general dealer (grocer etc.etc.) so it is set up as a real store back
in the times of the gold rush. It great to walk around and see the
wares "on sale" and other wonderful items for that time.

Enjoyed looking back at your other P.R. posts. Interesting that the whole town has become a museum.
Nice entry for blue Monday.
In response to Garden of Daisies - Yes well it's a small town (one main road and literally 2 or three sub roads, it's in a valley in the middle of nowhere)......
BUT it's gorgeous!!!
Thanks for popping by!

Happy Blue Monday! What a neat old building. I love the rust running off the sign and onto the building. Wonderful! Thanks! Jenn
The Pepsi sign is great. I like the idea of preserving the actual buildings as living museums.
Great photos of the old store.
