Old Country Store R.M. BROOKS GENERAL STORE SINCE 1917 - Camping in our Winnebago Travato! RUGBY TN

🎥 IN THIS EPISODE → R.M. Brooks General Store is One of the last original country stores in operation. It's located in Rugby Tennessee. Brooks opened the store in 1917! We interviewed Tiffany the owner to get all the details and history. Took our Winnebago Travato to camp in next door to the general store.

I've seen Tiffany quite a few times on the Appalachian Channel and she always seems so down to earth and friendly to everyone. What a great little place to visit.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much for sharing.

[@cedarhawkfan2791]

My wife and I have watched a lot of your videos over the years, always enjoyed them, but I personally enjoyed this video/interview the most! Tiffany’s family history was very interesting as well as how her faith is a large part of her life! Keep up the great work you guys!

[@Newie-77]

We loved this vlog. If this a new direction for your channel, traveling and meeting people sharing stories filled with faith, keep it up as it suits you both so well. We’ve been fans for a while and enjoyed the food and shopping, but folks of faith will always have a much more interesting story to tell.

[@Tiger-From-Clemson]

Tiffany is getting mighty popular and seems like such a sweetheart.. sending a virtual hug to Miss Tiffany from secret city TN😽💞

[@YouSUBSCRIBE739]

She's definitely very easy to luv....ive watched her episodes on T. A.C. John has a fabulous channel too. I luv channels like these n that tell the history! ❤

[@diamondbackking4141]

WOWWW....what a beautiful trip down memory lane ! I loved the history of the store , the feeling of going back in time, the peaceful feeling I got listening to the stories inside that true landmark in the country...excellent vlog !

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much for sharing.

[@YouSUBSCRIBE739]

I agree....me too. 😉

[@larryeddings3185]

I love going to the R M Brooks Store. The girls, the food and the ambience make for a wonderful time.

[@lynettestephens5152]

I absolutely loved this vlog. Brooks was such a quaint old country store. I’m so glad you interviewed Miss Tiffany, the owner. She is a wonderful lady. You could tell how much she loves this little town & the people in it. It was obvious how much her faith meant to her & guided her everyday. Thank you so much for allowing us to join you today. ♥️♥️

[@FridaysForever]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@angelgardener2748]

Oh my gosh, what a most wonderful video. Your presentation was over the top, the music, the scenery, Miss Tiffany. I am sitting here on a Saturday afternoon with tears rolling down my cheeks. It just reminded me of my hometown, Clover, VA. That store looked like the few we had back home. I can sit here and picture them in my mind. So thankful that at 74 I can still feel love in my heart for the old ways. Again, great video.

[@CL-fr9yx]

Enjoyed this segment. Keep up the great work. Tiffany is special lady. A tremendous example of what a true Christian should be.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for sharing so much.

[@carlavision6143]

Mike and Karen, really enjoyed your video! That's very interesting and love the Coca Cola coolers and the Pepsi signs! I wish I had a way to visit Tennessee and see places like that! Awe, love seeing Big T! Going to share this on my community tab.

[@danemoor3118]

Hi Sister Tiffany... 🙏✝️🕊 Have you made it over to Asbury University? Check out GOD showing up Revival there!?

[@paulettebrochet2011]

Really enjoyed the history and stories Tiffany was sharing about the store abd her family. What a beautiful place. We have never heard of this quaint little town. Seems like there's alot to see and do nearby. Loving your vanlife with Big T. Love going on the backroads and discovering these small towns. We all need to slow down and take a backroad. Merry Christmas to y'all.

[@jaytomson7052]

Gulf Oil Co. better get their bohinies over to Rugby, Tennessee and like right away! Restore the former glory of the brand, starting there.

[@jaytomson7052]

If you visit... tip 100%. We just can't afford to lose this.

[@CaddyOnRoute]

What a wonderful KZbin video. Thanks for sharing this! We also have a Winnebago. QUESTION: Wondering how much it cost for a 30 amp spot here?

[@jefflewis5546]

So glad places like this are still around. Hope it never changes !

I've seen Tiffany Terry on several different channels. Exceptional person. I can't wait to get out there late winter to get a bologna sandwich.

[@FrankGreenway]

I love hearing the stories about people and places like this lady shared with you guys and us. It’s amazing how God works in people’s lives.

[@georgepoirier9014]

MAGA, Make America Godly, Again !!!❤❤❤

[@BackroadExploits]

Loved this segment. What a great interview and video. Nice to see places that are not national chains serving their communities. There something very special about home town community center like this one. They are fading fast in many parts, so it is great that you are doing your part to document them. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@roncarrigan8258]

Wife and I watch your videos and appreciate your honest reviews. Keep the adventures coming

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for the support Ron.

[@keithsanders2792]

What a great video! The place reminded me of the general store where my maternal grandfather and grandmother lived. Thanks for bringing back some great memories for me Mike and Karen. Keep safe on the road.

[@dalevankuren3861]

Being Raised in a Small Town myself I Loved it.Merry Christmas ☃️🎄.

WOW that was a Blessed place to visit and so serene. Thanks so much for sharing this video. My husband and I just retired this year so that will be a great place to explore. Miss Tiffany sure was a sweet genuine person and she is enjoying and sharing all that family history.. Thanks Mike and Karen

[@FridaysForever]

Our pleasure Lisa - We hope you can visit soon.

[@margaretleehightower3073]

Isn’t Ms Tiffany Precious ❤️

[@Steve.Cutler]

I used to love stopping at these old country stores on long trips with my parents as a kid. I'd look to see what soda machine they had out front. The smell and feel of the well worn wooden floor under your feet. They all seemed to have something a little different than the last.

[@danthompson1467]

Tiffany is a amazing lady with a great godly way to run a business 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I really enjoyed the old store and her stories. I have an old store and post office was inside it just across the road from me. The old place is just falling in. That one reminds me of it. When I was a child it was a nice General store and I walked across and got our mail. My dad was the mail carrier. Enjoyed ur vlog. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

We live 20 miles from Rugby in Clarkrange TN. We moved here from Tampa Florida and have never looked back. We work remotely and living here is amazing. If you can, get out of the city life because you will never regret it. Thank you for the video!

[@michaelbecnel63]

We found Rugby on a fall trip in October but we somehow missed the store....guess we're gonna have to go back

[@markgray6982]

Thats one purty store,, i love the old stuff. I cant stand much of anything new. I like the old motels that you can park right in front of the door,,,,and are one story,,,them dang high rise motels, you get some Water Buffalo's making Love above you and i cant sleep a wink,,,and them dang doors bang everytime it opens or closes. How about making doors that dont slam in motels ???? I should have been born in 1850,,,,,,,Merry Christmas to ALL

[@ginamaria2579]

Wow great place, thank you so much for sharing 🤗. Really enjoyed it ☺️

[@KatherineMulder-t2x]

[@BibleBikerChurch]

Hello new friends, Pastor Fred here in Rockwood TN. I found your channel today with the video of the R M Brooks store in Rugby, beautiful place. Your video inspired me to plan a motorcycle ride with the church there in April 2023. I have been to Rugby many times, but never to the store, and am looking forward to it. When you were at Cumberland Mountain State Park, you were not far from Ozone Falls. Don't know if you've ever been there, but that is a nice place to visit as well, but no campsites at those falls. Fall Creek Falls is nice, and a beautiful big campground with all the amenities as well, just in case you did not know... Subscribed and following... Have a blessed day..

[@FridaysForever]

Hi Pastor Fred! Thanks so much for leaving us a comment. We did think about driving by Ozone Falls but didn't make it this trip. We've stayed at Fall Creek before years ago in a pop up and hope to go back soon. We appreciate the sub so much. God bless! Ride safe!! Mike use to ride and had a motorcycle channel called Realmotovlog
