Built by
John Ralston in 1785, this one-room building was the center of the Ralston Community. It served as a general store
from 1785-1893, and was the local post office from 1893-1941. It was acquired by the Ralston Historical Association
in 1945 and opened as a museum in 1964. Over the years, the museum collection has been expanded to include a variety
of local artifacts including antiques, photographs, maps and manuscripts from the 18th and 19th century.
The General Store Museum is open to the public on Sundays and holidays, June through
mid-October from 2 to 5 pm. The museum is located at 313 Mendham Road - West (Rt. 24), Mendham, NJ at the
