About

A 1937 Shell station and garage exterior, with vintage signage, gas pumps, and a tow truck. Peer through the window at the restored office. The station was restored by volunteers in 1990. There are also some classic restored police cars inside.

No, there is no gas for sale. And no, you can't go inside. But it is similar to the one in Winston-Salem and just as cool especially if you like nostalgia.
