Old-Time Shopping: Family-Owned Stores & Neighborhood Groceries

Speakers: Lillie Deas and Meredith Dreisback

From the 1930s to the 1960s, Healdsburg was filled with small, family-owned stores and markets offering residents everything they needed. Small grocery stores were scattered around town and everybody had a favorite, often the one just an easy bike ride away for the kids. And you could find a plethora of stores offering other products like medical prescriptions, clothing, cigars, phonograph records, shoes, candy, hardware...you name it. Come with us and we’ll take you shopping the old-fashioned way.
