Bynum General Store


Once a bustling cotton mill village along the banks of the Haw with stores, school and even a movie theater, Bynum still echoes with sounds of its heyday. The general store opened in 1936 stands silent reminder to a once vibrant community life. Now closed, the store still serves as a focal point of community events. Most notably the gospel, folk, blues, rockabilly and bluegrass Front Porch Music venue, which takes place weekends on a stage at the back of the store from May through August.
