FREEDOM — “Why go out of town to buy goods?” states the advertisement from the E.I. Towle & Co. general store from around 1904.
While the idea might seem laughable to Freedom residents today, who have to drive 10 or more miles just to go grocery shopping, at the turn of the 20th century, locals could turn to the general stores, bank, cobbler’s shop and other businesses right in town to meet all of their needs.
