Description
The R.H. Wilson General Store was one of many establishments set up along the National Highway in Clear Spring. Rufus Wilson built his general store near the banks of Maryland's Condcocheague Creek in 1847. A post office, blacksmith shop and school followed. Enjoying great success, the store attracted drovers, farmers and travelers, finding the store doubles as a great rest stop. Bypassed by a railroad and modern highways, business withered and the store finally closed its doors in 1975.
