The Hitching Post Will Re-Open The Country Store for the Aurora Fall Festival
The new owner of the Hitching Post will be reopening the country store for the Oct. 3-5 Fall festival. My husband and I were fortunate enough to get an early peek and I can’t possibly tell you how amazing this country store is. It’s, literally, a step back in time to an old general store. There are shoes, postcards, clothing, kitchen gadgets, farm gizmos, dishes, and so much more from years and years and years ago. They have put so much time and work into cleaning and restoring this gorgeous piece of history.
I can’t possibly tell you how amazing it is to walk around this amazing country store and transport yourself back so long ago. We history buffs are certain we’ve gone on to Heaven. If you have children, I know you’ll want them to experience this real life history lesson. It’s honestly something no one will want to miss.
You’ll be able to get a glimpse of what is coming next year. Apparently countless people have asked for the country store, which has been closed for 4 years, to reopen. I wish I had some pictures to post on the site for you, but quite frankly when this history buff was in the store, all she could do was stare in wide-eyed wonder.
I LOVE the energy and excitement that’s buzzing in the Land Between the Lakes region. No matter where you live, the smartest thing you’ll do all year will be to load up your family and head for the Lakes. Whether you’re there for a day, a weekend, or a week – you’ll never run out of things to do and things to see. The friendliest people, spectacular entertainment (Variety! in Grand Rivers), the world’s best fudge (Grand Rivers), the best catfish on earth (Willow Pond, Aurora), beautiful lakes, elk and bison, and of course, the Hitching Post are all waiting for you.

We dropped in the Hitchin’ Post while camping nearby and are glad we did! Sue has done an excellent job of bringing the history of the olden days to life, including a phenominal General Store. Lots of nice surprises and tasty treats, too. Nice job, Sue.

Hi, Donna! She has put so much work into the store, it’s amazing. As a born/bred Kentuckian, I get so excited when I’m around other people (whether they were born here or not) who are passionate about restoring our history AND improving our future.
I agree about the nice surprises, too – I could spend hours looking around the Hitching Post… and the money I could spend? Forget about it!
