My Visit To The Old Lucketts Store-Part One

October 9, 2019 By Meegan 1 Comment

I may have mentioned that we have family that lives in Virginia. I have been blessed enough to have visited them several times, now. I love seeing the grand-babies and exploring while I am there. Everything from historical monuments, gardens, cemeteries, plus lots of antique stores and beautiful restaurants.

Shortly after I started my blog, I had heard about The Old Lucketts Store. But I NEVER thought I would have a chance to visit. Let alone go here more than once in one trip to Virginia. BUT, I did the last few weeks and I am excited to share with you My Visit To The Old Lucketts Store-Part One.

 

Yes, part one, because there is SO much to see. I literally could spend hours upon hours there. And I think you could, too.
