Old Country Store
Learned, Mississippi
Learned, Mississippi
Last summer, the husband and I were out for a leisure drive. We saw a street sign that read Learned. Neither one of us had been there before, so, we decided to take the road never traveled and came upon this store in a small Mayberry-ish like village. I believe the faded sign above the store reads Gibbs and Sons. The store was built in 1892 and is located in Learned, Hinds County, Mississippi. It is about 20 miles west of Jackson.

Nice photographs!
Thank you, Suzassippi.
WOW, you stepped back in time!!
Amazing - You don't find many country stores! I see china and hat boxes! Lord I'd love at that store. Maybe next week when I'm in MS!
Awesome find!
It is back in time. I thought I could hear wagon wheels and horse hoofs.
If you time your visit, maybe you will get to enjoy lunch with the locals.
This store is in my "backyard" and I had no idea it was there.
It looks like a store on a notecard I have from long ago. If those walls could talk.
The conversations would probably be entertaining and hurtful,
Great place. Have been there many times over the years. A wonder you got some photos as they are usually upset with people taking photos inside.
My husband and I were the only two customers at the time of our visit. The woman who served our food and another younger woman remained in the back. I think I was finishing with the last one by the time they realized I was taking pictures, and I realized this was not the brightest of ideas.
I work at the MS Archives and we recently received some store and church ledgers from this area. I zoomed in on the sign and it says Gibbes & Sons, which correlates with the Gibbes name from some correspondence that came with the ledgers. :)
Well... EaT thaR din!
