Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor
Family-owned businesses on Main Street have evolved to meet changes in demand for products. Stoner's Novelty Store is a good example. Albert Stoner built this structure in 1899 as a tinsmith workshop and store. In the 1920s, his son Frank expanded the inventory to include bicycle parts and postcards of local attractions, reflecting a growth of interest in recreation and tourism. By the 1930s, motoring on the Lincoln Highway had become popular. In response, Stoner's began to sell Atlantic Richfield gasoline. In the 1960s, the inventory expanded again to include fine giftware.| HM Number | HMCVB |
