In this episode of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, we visit a museum in John Day, Oregon, that was once a Chinese general store and medicine shop that dates back to the 1800s. These days it’s a perfectly preserved time capsule, down to the fruit its former owner left on the counter in the 1950s. Tours of the shop are offered seasonally, but you can get a virtual look inside here.

Our podcast is an audio guide to the world’s wondrous, awe-inspiring, strange places. In under 15 minutes, we’ll take you to an incredible site, and along the way you’ll meet some fascinating people and hear their stories. Join us daily, Monday through Thursday, to explore a new wonder with cofounder Dylan Thuras and a neighborhood of Atlas Obscura reporters.
