Store Abandoned In 1963 Remains ‘Frozen In Time’

The 153 Mile Store was first opened back in 1900, but it closed down in 1963 after the store owner passed away suddenly. All of the merchandise remains in the store, exactly like on the day that it closed.

The past can be a fascinating thing, but until time-travel is invented, none of us can exactly visit the past.

However, one man did have a pretty rare yet pretty cool opportunity to get as close to time travel as possible.

Dustin Porter from Destination Adventure went to visit the the 153 Mile Store, which is in British Columbia. The general store looks pretty much the same as it did nearly 60 years ago.

Porter was amazed by the way the store was perfectly preserved. Everything, from the shelves to the displays to the countertops looked as if they’d never left the past.

As Dustin explained in the video below, he grew up not far from the location. He’d always known about it, but to be able to see it was an incredible thing for him.

He said, “It’s rare that you get to see old artifacts in good condition, but this store is FULL of artifacts in literally brand new condition.”
