Lead Mine Country Store — Local services in Camdenton

I've been here before, it's a neat, organized store with a fairly large cafe in back. No credit cards, only checks and cash. They are the second Mennonite store you'll pass out there in the tullies. You'll pass one on the right hand side of the road with lots of veggies and flowers out front, not them. Keep driving a couple more miles and they are besides a big white house with out builings. There are tons of books, spices, dishware and canned goods. The cafe is in the back and was close to closing butI was able to snag the last chicken pot pie. Homemade, delicious but pricey, about $7 and change. I also had a piece of BlackBerry cobbler, delicious but also pricey and pretty small. One star lost for the sour, tiny, unfriendly old woman who took my order and delivered my food. The young girls were curious but friendly, the old woman was abrupt and cold, pretty sure it was because of the way I look. Not too many dark people out the in...

The best apple dumplings ever! Honestly, everything is delicious! The store has lots of interesting stuff, including (relic) toys that made me reminisce into my childhood. They sell things we wouldn't expect to find there, as well as items that we would not find elsewhere. The only inconvenience: plastic cards aren't accepted, since they don't have a phone line or electricity 🙃 Don't forget...

Super interesting store, full of old-time goodies for all ages. They also have a restaurant, but it was closed when I visited. NOTE: Credit cards/ATM not accepted! Because they don't have electricity or phone lines. That made me realize that I no longer carry my checkbook in my purse, and that I don't have enough cash...
