From watching our favorite black-and-white flicks to visiting Old West-themed attractions, we’re never too far from a one-of-a-kind adventure. Get a glimpse of the Old West and stock up on everything from fresh fruits to cowboy gear at this old-fashioned country store in Stoystown, Pennsylvania.
While our thoughts may turn to cowboys and gun duels when we think of the Old West, we might not think that way for much longer, especially once we visit this old-fashioned country store in Stoystown.
Country and general stores were staples during the Old West, and that tradition has carried on in some communities in Pennsylvania into the 21st century.
A community staple since 1904, Duppstadt's Country Store has been owned and run by the Duppstadts since 1972.
Most will likely agree that this old-school shop has remained such a beloved neighborhood spot because of its good, old-fashioned friendliness and an impressive selection of products.
Boasting the "largest collection of work and western boots in the area," the country shop's eclectic collection of products changes often. You never know what new gems you'll uncover during each visit.
