In the South there are characters we all know who could be the source for great Southern fiction and novels. There is a quality about them that would lead one to say, “That’s what makes the South the South. One such person is Jimmy Olgers – the robust personality and grand proprietor of Olgers Store – which is part a museum containing remarkable and unusual artifacts from the material culture of the American South and beyond, and part the stage for Jimmy, which consist of a 6 foot by 100 foot front porch onto which people from all across the United States (and, as Jimmy likes to say, “…and all over the world”) have come to sit down and go back in time. Truly a Southern classic!
