It's hard to believe that Hendersonville was once called the "Daringest Town in America" with the prominence of the Victorian period so readily evident. The Mast Store on Main Street in Hendersonville was built in 1905. It has housed a variety of past retailers including the Maxwell Fancy Grocery Store, Freeze Drug Store, Potts 5¢ & 10¢, and a ladies' dress shop. Other occupants included The Woodsmen of the World, a benevolent secret society which held its meetings in the store in the 1920s.
Today, all of Mast Store's departments are showcased in a beautifully restored building complete with an ornate pressed-tin ceiling, oiled floors, and a "grand staircase" leading to the second floor. Mercantile features oil lamps by Lamplight Farms, goat's milk soap, and cast iron cookware from Lodge; fashion includes brand names like Woolrich, Northern Isles, Miss Erika, and Flyshacker Flannels; the outdoor and shoe department features items from Royal Robbins, Mountain Hardwear, MSR, Columbia, Patagonia, Asolo, and Clarks. You'll also find barrels full of your favorite candies - from orange slices to wax bottles and extra large jaw breakers to Mary Janes - available to mix and match by the pound.
