Siler City's Farmers' Alliance Store has a long and unique history. It was created in 1888 as a way to buy in bulk and provide lower costs to farmers, and, when it closed in 2018, it was the oldest business still in operation in Siler City. The Alliance published two books covering the history of the store--one for its 100th anniversary, and the other for its 115th. You can read them both on our website:
