Jimtown Store, Jimtown CA.


On any given day, cyclists, tourists, and locals alike can be found at Alexander Valley’s Jimtown store enjoying hearty seasonal soups, salads, and specialty sandwiches. Founded by Jim Patrick in 1865 as a general store and post office, the store was refurbished in 1991 by current owner Carrie Brown and her late husband John Werner. It's hard to miss Jimtown’s mascot, a 1955 red Ford pickup parked out front, which was originally used as a county fire truck.

    1. Thank you Susan! I hadn't quite finished when we stopped yesterday so I added a bit more punch to it when I got home. Thanks for joining us yesterday and hope you can make it to future outings. It's a pleasure having you there!
