Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this place with us. I wish so much that I could go there. I would try to find the lady who gave you the tours and book her exclusively. I have a feeling that she and I could spend an afternoon playing "Remember when...."!

Ordered a fishing magnet thanks for the discount info .

Sidestep Adventures what a sweet lady! Did she say someone stole their A/C? Did she get a A/C put in yet??

[@lonnied7709]

This lovely lady does a wonderful tour...thanks for helping me "travel" like most people = housebound!

[@marilyndison8653]

A lady who is a total definition of a southern lady.

[@alphaone101]

She is, isn't she. I love her voice, accent and mannerism. I only have to close my eyes, listen to her and go back to a much better, kinder and gentler time, when ladies were ladies and men were gentlemen.

[@samanthab1923]

Marilyn Dison Just so gracious & quite knowledgeable. Could listen to her all day long.

[@gvevers1]

The Lady is a perfect hostess and tour guide! When we get over this global crisis I would love to pop on down to that neck of the woods....such an incredible encapsulation of history. Beautifully well kept and presented. Greetings from Vancouver Canada! Stay safe!

[@Dave-ty2qp]

Better hurry. That generation won't last much longer, and they have such stories to share with you. My wife and I visit the south quiet often, and it is quiet unique to the rest of the North American continent.

Beautiful and heart breaking at the same time. Eventually places like this will be gone forever and lost to the past.

[@marybowman6637]

This is one of the best videos. My Mother was a bookkeeper and she worked at a drug store doing the books for many years. Rexall drugs in Lakeland Florida. I was raised in a drug store.. I am 60 years old. She started working at the drug store when I was 3 years old. Will never forget the little restaurant in the store. Thank you guys for all the adventure's. I am always Watching. God Bless.

[@bbqking7869]

I really like your Host she really enjoys talking to you about the House and Drug Store...

[@zekesgirl100]

I just love that lady.

[@marbletowntv1791]

A true blast from the past.. Somebody should help her to get AC back in there, thats a shame someone stole that from this great historical location. So original and makes me want a old fashioned soda and a bag of poocorn. Great video as usual.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Can you imagine if they were able to open that old soda fountain again? That would be so cool....

[@marbletowntv1791]

@@AdventuresIntoHistory The tourists would definitely keep it busy, as old is new again..and I would definitely be in line😊

[@figgy7099]

They never had any AC back in the day..... people are getting weak.

[@ShroudedinLove]

I was thinking the same thing, how to come together to get her an air conditioner. 💖

[@ThatsLaCotta]

Amazing place!! Please someone buy that sweet ok lady an air conditioner so that stuff can stay preserved 😄

[@rickashay6023]

What a wonderful place of history , so amazing that it has been saved and open to the public, .

[@themissouriwoodwaltzer7827]

Thanks for letting us tag along Robert, looking forward to the next adventure.

[@alphaone101]

This was a great video, they just keep getting better. While others always visit the big corporate type tourist traps that are just about money, Robert takes us to the heart of America and it used to be, the small towns and businesses that made the South and America so special. I love the volunteer in this video, what a sweet southern lady! I wonder what a new air conditioner would cost for that building? The only thing needed would the the air conditioning unit itself, the rest of the system would be in the building. Possibly an air conditioner installer might even have a good used unit that was traded in. I'd be willing to donate towards an air conditioner, how bout anyone else?

[@cindylou6084]

I'd love to donate some money to help the museum purchase a new a/c unit! How?... Hmm? A 'Go Fund Me' account?

[@sandramulholland9975]

That cabinetry is beautiful.

True Southern hospitality from a fine southern Lady! Thank you for a wonderful tour Sidestep Adventures!

[@lindagreen1105]

Growing up in N E Arkansas I remember these old pump hand held sprayers to kill mosquitos. Used every night. During the day in town a old truck with a big tank on it came around at evening time and fogged the town. These old places are so rich with history that no matter the state in the south we all used the same things. What a treasure.

Plot twist it was DDT.

[@lindagreen1105]

[@williebeamish5879]

@@lindagreen1105 I'd imagine the people and animals killed by it in the past? But I get the feeling that you don't really care about anybody who doesn't fall under "the greatest generation". Enjoy the social security that the system, same one allowing Glypho and sprayed the DDT for profit, will have removed by the time I age out. Bahhhh

@@williebeamish5879 I earned my social security by painting new houses with my husband and son. The last 6 years I worked I spent in a nursing home taking care of people on a lock down with memory problems. You did not corner the market on caring for people.

Lovely woodwork. Great layout. Gives a warm feel. Would love to have a rendition of this place for modern use. Would make a great health food restaurant. Thanks for upkeep. Hope the air conditioning gets funded for new purchase. Disgusting that someone would actualy steal it!

[@beachbum7425]

Good Gracious completely agree with you. In fact if all of us subscribers sent $1. We could probably get their A/C for them. Would be tragic if their fine collection was lost to the summer heat.

[@cindylou6084]

[@alisongriffin337]

How amazing. Love the containers and bottles for everything from cough syrup to swamp foot and all very elegant. Life seemed to be so much simpler then...probably not for the people who lived in that era. Great video as always xxx

[@forecon11]

What breaks my heart is that Lumpkin is a totally dead town. It was once a nice bustling community, but once they made 431 a direct route to Panama City (along with Ft. Benning taking over South Lumpkin Rd) it was doomed to whether on the vine. It along with Ft Gaines has a rich history, but like the rest of Stewart County and the stores in town, it has been totally bypassed.

Remember some of that stuff in my grandparent's house. They would always use the sprayer. I bought them a can of Raid once. Grandmama asked how she was supposed to get it from that can into her sprayer. I just shook my head and said never mind. We had a working soda fountain in our neighborhood when I was a kid. Anything and everything a kid could want. Nice trip down memory lane.

[@cindylou6084]

Your grandma ... LOL!😊 Sounds like mine. She was 80-plus yrs old and she was given her 1st microwave oven as a birthday gift from her daughters (my mom was one). She was shown how to use it. Do you think she ever used it? Nope! LOL!

The lady had a lot of knowledge that she was trying to give you. Maybe go round with her explaining the pieces and the history surrounding the various sections of the shop and what was popular back then etc. It would be a very interesting video to watch and hopefully to make. Great video. I love shops like this.

[@cindylou6084]

Since Robert is a Historian as well as a Photographer and a Videographer, I'm betting he obtained some cool information. It'd be super fun to get a bonus video in the (near) future highlighting the historical stories of some items. Hi Robert! ... hint!❤ ... hint!❤ (We all love you!

In my elementary school in Kenton, Tennessee, we had a 3rd grade Teacher, there for years and she was the local favorite. Mrs Margaret *Lumpkin,* truly ahead of her time, she used Behavioral Management techniques to get the best behavior and performance out of her students. Positive Reinforcement, various perks were awarded for good to exceptional behavior and work. I wonder if her husband was related to the Georgia Town Founder. Best Thoughts to Ms Margaret Lumpkin's Soul, God sure gave her some special energies. ❤📚❤ ____________________________ Also, I'm a Lynch, my Mother's maiden name.
