Herndon Mercantile Company, Store #1, Circa 1890s, Jenkins County

This extraordinary general store/warehouse is located near the railroad tracks in Herndon and suggests the nearly forgotten settlement was a much busier place at one time. It’s a massive structure and retains its wooden window shutters. Jones Lindgren writes: This store was The Herndon Mercantile Company, Store #1 owned by Robert C. Jones, a local farmer. He also owned stores at nearby Birdsville Plantation and next to the Ogeechee River. The store was probably built in the late 19th century and it operated until some time around WWII. It is still owned by descendants of Robert C. Jones.
