About Woodside Store

The Woodside Store is a preserved country store that served the area's lumber industry. Built in 1854 after an earlier building burned, it was restored to its 1880s appearance and operates as a historic site. Robert O. Tripp, a former dentist, ran it as a storekeeper and postmaster, and it also served as a stagecoach stop, a lending library and a post office. Visitors can see period artifacts and join events such as Old Woodside Store Day each May.
