Peasley: Greenwood General Store gets a new life

Greenwood General Store, built in 1894, is nestled in the rustic Greenwood Village, 4 miles north of Woodstock. The building, once a private home above a store, has sold many items through the years, including fabric, boots, medicine, produce, crockery, clothes and auto supplies.

It even once served as a post office.

Now named General Store Coffeehouse & Grocery by current owner Bill Streng of Woodstock, the store features popular foods from McHenry County, including bakery goods from Riverside Bakery, McHenry; fudge from Anderson Candy, Richmond; and pizza from Halftime Pizza, Johnsburg.
