Reviewed By PatK979 - Aiken, United States
30 years ago we stumbled upon the "original" Mast General Store and Post Office in Valle Crucis with our then 4 year old son. Now we are back visiting Boone with are son, daughter-in-law and 4 year old grand-daughter. As Grandparents are apt to do, we use the excuse, "it's a family tradition", to take our grand-daughter into the Mast General Store in Boone. In no way does this store resemble the original store in Valle Crucis. This is much newer and a wee bit larger!!!!! However, they did keep the barrels of candy and abundance of toys departments. To say our grand-daughter was overwhelmed is an understatement. Needless to say her parents were not the least bit happy with grandmom and grandpop. Three pounds of candy and two stuffed animals and were outta there.!!!!! Oh, I should say the clothing and shoe departments are very good!!!
