Also see . . . The Eagle Harbor General Store Museum. Over the many years, and though various owners, the store became more than just a General Store, but also a repository for artifacts collected by local residents. From antique bottles, to large boat oars from life-saving ships, hand carvings, images and vintage toys, the store displayed these items next to the merchandise creating a personal museum and a well-loved institution that provided staples to the community.
