  • 🎥 IN THIS EPISODE → R.M. Brooks General Store is One of the last original country stores in operation. It's located in Rugby Tennessee. Brooks opened the store in 1917! We interviewed Tiffany the owner to get all the details and history. Took our Winnebago Travato to camp in next door to the general store. We also enjoyed a good country breakfast with a pot belly stove burning. Did you enjoy this video? If so, please ❤️SUBSCRIBE to our Channel: ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Click "Show More"

    I've seen Tiffany quite a few times on the Appalachian Channel and she always seems so down to earth and friendly to everyone. What a great little place to visit.

    My wife and I have watched a lot of your videos over the years, always enjoyed them, but I personally enjoyed this video/interview the most! Tiffany’s family history was very interesting as well as how her faith is a large part of her life! Keep up the great work you guys!

    I absolutely loved this vlog. Brooks was such a quaint old country store. I’m so glad you interviewed Miss Tiffany, the owner. She
    is a wonderful lady. You could tell how much she loves this little town & the people in it. It was obvious how much her faith meant to her & guided her everyday. Thank you so much for allowing us to join you today. ♥️♥️

      Oh my gosh, what a most wonderful video. Your presentation was over the top, the music, the scenery, Miss Tiffany. I am sitting here on a Saturday afternoon with tears rolling down my cheeks. It just reminded me of my hometown, Clover, VA. That store looked like the few we had back home. I can sit here and picture them in my mind. So thankful that at 74 I can still feel love in my heart for the old ways. Again, great video.

    We loved this vlog. If this a new direction for your channel, traveling and meeting people sharing stories filled with faith, keep it up as it suits you both so well. We’ve been fans for a while and enjoyed the food and shopping, but folks of faith will always have a much more interesting story to tell.

    I used to love stopping at these old country stores on long trips with my parents as a kid. I'd look to see what soda machine they had out front. The smell and feel of the well worn wooden floor under your feet. They all seemed to have something a little different than the last.

  • @keithsanders2792
