The Taylorstown General Store, located at the junction of Taylorstown and Loyalty Roads, has served as the focal point for community affairs for more than two hundred years. The original two-story building was built in the late 1700s or early 1800s and served as a general store and post office, was also used for a time as a theater and later a movie house. Immediately to the east of the old store building is a one-story concrete building built in 1904 to replace an earlier building that was destroyed by fire. Both structures are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Original proprietors Thomas Hickman and John Slater operated the store until 1899, at which point the partnership dissolved and the Hickmans took over. They saw the store through reconstruction before transferring ownership to the Mann family in 1938. Annie Elizabeth Mann served as proprietor until her death in 1976. The property was then purchased and reopened in 1979 under the management of Curt and Elizabeth Callaham.
