fresh produce

 

Although the window advertises "fresh produce" there hasn't been anything fresh in this building in decades.  In fact, there hasn't been much business in the village since the Folsom man wandered here 10,000 years ago.  In the late 1800s, Folsom boasted two mercantiles, one of which is now the museum.  Today the 57 inhabitants have to drive 37 miles to Raton to shop Dollar General or another 20 miles on to Trinidad, Colorado for "fresh produce" at Wal-Mart.
