Over a hundred years ago, a new store opened up in Shepherdstown, West Virginia: O’Hurley’s General Store. And it’s still here, perched along East Washington Street. This historic West Virginia general store is a wonderful spot for shopping and a wonderful spot for chatting, and it even comes with an extra special surprise: a beloved resident pet cat named Murphy.

Welcome to O'Hurley's General Store, a turn-of-the-century shop with fine, high quality, time-tested merchandise.

And if you notice when you step inside that an abnormally high number of the products for sale at O'Hurley's are cat-themed, well, you can blame that on Murphy.
