From Intersate 55, take the North Brookhaven, go east approx. 5 blocks to US-51. Then go north approx. 3 blocks to Industrial Blvd (the first light north). Take Industrial Blvd east to Old US-51, then go north to the Brookhaven airport. At the airport veer right onto Airport Rd to the village of Huecks Retreat. The road runs almost always runs right next to train tracks. Continue on Airport Rd thru the village. Two miles past Huecks go left at the fork in the road. Continue approx 6 miles to International Ln. Turn right onto International Ln and go approx 4 miles to Cotton Lane (Cotton Lane is the 4th dirt road on the right *at the bottom of a hill*) Woolworth begins here.Woolworth runs along this dirt road to the top of a hill about 3 miles away. REMAINS: The only visible remains are the old general store and the old blacksmith shop |
| The story as relayed by my grandparents, who used to live in the house across the street from the only two standing buildings (I grew up in that house): Woolworth used to be a major trainstop between Brookhaven to the west and Silver Creek (NE of Monticello) to the east. When cars began to come into being, roads were built that by-passed Woolworth. The old sawmill closed, and the train stopped running.
