In 1850, the crown granted Edward Horton lots 16, 17, 18, Osprey Concession 9-10. By 1853 the land was cleared. In 1857 he received permission to subdivide part of his property into village lots along the Beaver River for a settlement called Hungry Hollow (later named Feversham). The precise date for the early construction of the original clapboard store at the corner of Wellington & Mill St is unknown. The property was purchased 1885 by Eli Robinson, a carriage maker who continued in that trade until 1900 when poor health caused by lead paint forced him to retire. Early on, the postman also brought goods for the store such as patent medicine, hardware and groceries; additional products from Collingwood meant an all-day journey for Eli on his horse. By 1910 Eli and his wife ran a popular emporium that offered fashions and housewares. The store served as post office, public library, and for a time sold gasoline.

Cultural Significance
Operating continuously since the days of “Hungry Hollow”, the Feversham General Store has always provided many necessities of life as well as social services. Late 2019 when it seemed the store might close, a group of local residents got together so the community would continue to benefit from this important focal point.
