Our
nearly complete collection of Mount Vernon CIty Directories
and Telephone books range from 1858 to the present.
Using these, we plan to document the names and locations
of all the businesses that operated on North and South
Main Streets, and probably one block east and west
on major side streets. When complete, we will prepare
a listing for each storefront which shows all the
known businesses that occupied that location through
Mount Vernon's history. We may have artifacts for
some of these stores as well, such as hats, hatboxes,
business envelopes and stationery, etc.
Your County Museum is constantly
adding new exhibits and improving existing
ones. If you have not visited for a while
you will notice addtions or expansions
