The Old Country Store was the place where people brought cotton and other products to sell and made all
their household purchases from staples like sugar and coffee to work boots and overalls. Located on
Highway 61 in Lorman, Ms., it was a major center of commerce for rural Clairborne and Jefferson County
for more than a hundred years.
Today it is a popular restaurant operated by Mr. Arthur Davis, who has
lovingly preserved the character of The Old Country Store.
