Arkham General Store

421 E Main Street

Besides the general run of merchandise, Rider Adams, the proprietor, also sells firearms, ammunition, and dynamite. There are no regulations concerning purchase, though storage of explosives within city limits is regulated by ordinance dating to 1866, when a souvenir cannonball from the siege of Petersburg blew away Eliot Olney's mantelpiece, chimney, and bedroom wall.
