Green Sulphur General Store Revival Brings Back Vintage Town Life
John Lively reopens the Green Sulphur General Store on Feb 1 in Green Sulphur Springs near Lick Creek Interchange on I 64. He aims to restore a gathering place with old time memories, running a trout hatchery on the family Grassy Meadows farm and holding a lease on the building while Charlie Boyd owns the historic structure. The store, dating to 1854, once housed a post office and trading post before closing in 1996. Boyd recalled its 1955 1989 postmaster era, and efforts in 1997 to attract a sporting goods business.
