Completely cool roadside attraction (inside cafe no longer open) - stop by even if they're not open...plenty to see!
[Stephen Francia, 07/09/2020]They are closed down and there are "No Trespassing" signs out. Too bad because from the outside it looked pretty cool.

A traveling companion and I happened upon Wilson's General Store and Cafe by accident. We were drawn to its robust collection of vintage and antique roadside signs, arranged haphazardly. The signs outdoors are numerous and include painted, neon, and fiberglass varieties from long-defunct eateries and other establishments. There is even an old billboard advertising Howard Hughes' movie "The Outlaw." Colonel Sanders is also represented.
