I met people who have never seen anything like it. I love this piece of Americana that has faded away to chain shops.

Sitting across the street from the Pike County Courthouse, Hawkins is a step back in time due to the extensive renovations and addition of a fountain/sandwich counter.You are always felt welcomed there and they prepare great sandwiches and soups. You can also get a variety of drinks. A great place to stop on your way to or from Diamond State... More

This store was nothing to write home about, but it was nice to stroll through and see the local flair. After a long day of walking through the mine field, it was a nice place to cool off before driving back to the room.

Stopped in while visiting the area. Got some really good ice cream and sat out on the front porch area listening to the music provided by the store. Nice hometown feel to the place. A nice place to sit and relax while visiting the shops nearby.

It's a old timer soda fountain place now. The new owners are making it look just like it did in 1909. It's very cool. U can buy sandwiches and sweets and all kinds of gifts and candles and Girly stuff and toys for kids. Great place to chill and nice ppl.

Telephone: 870-285-3371 Web Site: http://www.murfreesboroark.com/hawkins.html The Hawkins General Store is just an all around fun place to visit.
