Fulton's General Store


It seems settlers had lived in these parts since the 1830s, but the town of Riverside didn't really take off until the mill was built in 1875. Riverside started as a factory town. As business grew, so did the population and their needs. Fulton's General Store opened in Riverside in 1882, ready to provide goods and services for folks in town or those just passing through. (The name Fulton is derived from Robert Fulton, an engineer and inventor who is credited with the creation of the first regularly operating steamboat.)


When Fulton's says they're a "general" story, they mean it! Here, everything from fishing supplies to hot apple pie is on offer. They can even take care of your mail and package delivery.


Fulton's General Store is a family business. That's Huey, Dewey and Louie helping unload some of the latest shipment. Over at the pot-belly stove, Morty and Ferdy are working the bellows to try and stoke the flames. Little do they realize that "cousin" Goofy is trying to check the chimney pipe. He nearly gets blown off his ladder with the puff of soot sent up by Mickey's well-meaning nephews, but he can't help but laugh it off.
