If December in your house means a Moravian chicken pie in the oven and a tin of paper-thin cookies on the counter, you can buy both in Badin this year and help a small museum while you’re at it. The Badin Historic Museum’s Mrs. Pumpkin’s & Dewey’s holiday store opens Friday, Nov. 20, inside the Firehouse Museum on Falls Road and runs through Tuesday, Dec. 22, 2026.
The store sells baking from two Winston-Salem names: Mrs. Pumpkin’s, known for its chicken pies, and Dewey’s Bakery, known for Moravian cookies and sugar cake. According to the museum’s flyer, the shelves will hold Moravian chicken pies, Moravian cookies, sugar cakes and cheese straws, with apple crumb pies new this year.

What to know before you go
- Prices and payment: the flyer doesn’t list prices or payment types, and stock can change through the season. Call 704-422-6900 if you’re counting on a particular item.
- Where the money goes: the museum is all volunteer and charges no admission. The announcement sent with this year’s flyer names two projects the store supports: the free Badin Tour App and the restoration of the Spark Plug rail car.
- See the museum too: regular museum tours are Tuesdays and Sundays. Hours, buildings and directions are in our Badin Historic Museum guide.
- Getting there: the Firehouse Museum is at 62 Falls Road in downtown Badin, next to the main museum building. Get directions ↗
