Poolesville - John Poole House

The John Poole House was the first building built in what is now the Town of Poolesville. The original one-room log store contains articles sold during the 1793-1820 period when it was in operation. Museum items include leaf tobacco, sheepskins, leather hides, slabs of bacon, tools and hand spun yarns.

The room behind the store was the kitchen/living area for the storekeeper and his family. It has been restored to include original fabrics, paint and furniture.
