Diamond Hill General Store
The Diamond Hill community corner store truly has the flavor of yesteryear - the original store dates back to 1857. Diamond Hill General Store has a gift and wine shop where you can enjoy a glass of wine and shop for Christmas, or any season. As you grab your essentials, bait and gas (Citgo) for the boat on the way to the lake, you can also catch up on the news of today and reminisce about the days gone by. In addition, lunch from the gourmet Boar's Head deli is always a wonderful treat. In the grocery store, you can purchase a magazine or book to go with the bottle of wine, and on way home from the lake, stop and unwind in the garden center to see what's blooming -- at Christmas time, get your tree and greens! Diamond Hill General Store is open 365 days a year - call for hours, if not between 9am - 8pm; open, but limited holiday hours.
