Historic Rickman Store

The store was originally built by John Hall in 1895. W.H. Bryson sold the store to Mr. Rickman in 1925. For nearly 70 years, Tom Rickman operated his store in the Cowee Community offering groceries, cloth, hardware products and other dry goods to his customers.

Currently, this historic building is owned by the Land Trust for Little Tennessee Preserves.

To see the store, visitors should follow Hwy. 28 north of Franklin to Cowee Creek Road turning right at Cowee Creek and driving just past the Cowee Baptist Church. The store is on the right side of the road.
