Plevna General Store
Destroyed by fire, Jan. 3, 1997.
Plevna is located in Reno [RN]
County a couple of miles north of the North Fork of the Ninnescah River.
Highway US 50 runs on the North edge of Plevna; an older road from
Abbyville to Sylvia runs through Plevna. As you come into Plevna from
the east, the highway has to bend around the old brick auditorium that
now houses the city offices. There is playground equipment on the east
side of this building.
The Santa Fe railroad still serves Plevna, and the State Bank of
Plevna is still in business. For many years the Plevna General Store was
a well-known gathering place and local landmark; sadly, it burned
January 3, 1997.
History
Plevna, in Bulgaria, was the site of an important 1878 battle in the
