After reading some interesting information about Deer Creek Mercantile in Deer Creek Ok. My wife and I made the 110 mile road trip to check it out for our selves.Downtown Deer Creek consists of two brick structures. One is the Deer Creek Mercantile. The building was built in 1905 and has history significants. The best I can tell it is located on the only paved street in town. All the rest are dirt. My wife and I have some physical issues and found it difficult accessing the front door. Later we discovered a handicap ramp on the back of the store. There were two young ladies running the store. Who we found to be friendly and helpful. There was only one other elderly couple in the store during our visit. The gentleman I talked to told me that they must be lost. Stated that this Mercantile was nothing like the advertisement. They actually thought they were at Rea Drummonds mercantile. He said they came all the way from Arizona and was very disappointed. He bowed his head when I agreed with him being lost. The mercantile he was looking for is about 75 miles away in Pawhuska The store itself had a couple of antique wagons and some old papers outlining the construction of the mercantile. They also had some old time gum, candy and toys. They also sell some clothes and other merchandise. .
