Buy
Shop Welty's General Store
Welty's was first established in 1889 in a log cabin just outside of the town, by Frank A. Welty. The store was placed next to the homestead cabin of his father. In 1897 a general store was built in Dubois; Welty purchased the store in 1898 and moved his operation into town, dismantling the first building and appending it to the new store. The store is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is operated by the founder's grandson Frank A. Welty III.
