It all began in November of 1946. Mr. Becraft bought the property as an investment while he was a salesman for Cushman Realty. Mrs. Becraft was overjoyed that there was an old building on the property empty and unused. The building had been previously used as an apple packing shed. She asked to use part of that packing shed to start a shop, which would feature hand-made articles from Maryland and Virginia. The store was known back then as the Wayside Kraft Exchange.
