Burkes Garden Little General Store Captures Old West Charm
The Burkes Garden Little General Store, built three years ago by Tom Dunford and his partner, uses rustic decor to evoke an old Western mercantile. Arlene Newton, Dunford’s mother, manages it, describing how customers visit for pool and chili hot dogs, with occasional horseback riders stopping by. The store receives limited direct truck delivery due to mountain roads, and attracts locals and tourists from nearby towns and out of state. It operates seven days a week, closing only Christmas Day.
