The New Kingston General Store and Post Office was the center of community life for well over a century. This photo may have been taken about the time M. J. Faulkner bought it in 1904. Note the early street lamp; the steps to the second floor, where concerts and other gatherings were held; and the child at the front door: Who was she?
Come to the Living History Cemetery Tour at New Kingston Valley Cemetery June 20 to learn more about the people and stories of this historic hamlet. M. J. is one of the characters you'll meet.
