Built in 1918, Dixie's Store was moved to Chestnut Square in 1996. This building has a soft spot in the hearts of many of McKinney's former school children. Dixie would give soft drinks or candy to local children who brought a straight "A" report card to her attention.  She would also paddle those who acted up in her store…and record their names on the store paddle!  Today, Dixie’s Store serves as a memory of a simpler shopping time and a gift store for Chestnut Square. 

Open during public tours, Living History Days and Farmers’ Market, Dixie’s Store offers home crafted items and fun toys that take children back to simpler play.  We also stock local history books and photos.  During the Farmers’ Market on Saturdays from April through October, Dixie’s store will offer cold Dublin Dr. Pepper, Root Beer and Coca-Colas!

Dixie's Store is sponsored by the McKinney Wal-Mart Stores.
