C.A. Nethery General Merchandise
Locals refer to this historic Texas monument as "Nethery's Store" because it is one of the few old rural stores that still has its original antique display and sales fixtures. All the essentials for a basic country existence were in Nethery's Store when it opened for business in 1880 behind thick metal-clad double timber doors. It was well known that Nethery's Store carried everything from caskets to baby bottles! It is still one of Sabine County, Texas's oldest retail structures today. The Store is situated in Milam, Texas, on the historic El Camino Real, which is now Texas Highway 21. This road was used as early as 1690, during the Spanish Colonial Era.
Address: 280 Hwy 21 W, Milam, TX 75959
Phone: 763-218-7870
Hours: 10 AM to 4 PM Fri and Sat, Oct through June
