Teeland's Country Store
United States historic place
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Teeland's Country Store, also known as Herning's Place and Knik Trading Company, is a historic retail establishment located at the corner of East Herning Avenue and North Boundary Street in Wasilla, Alaska. The oldest portion of this wood-frame building is a log structure at the back whose construction dates to 1905. Originally located at Knik as Knik Trading Company, this log structure, then also used as a store, was moved to the newly established town of Wasilla on skids in 1917 by its builder, O. G. Herning. Herning also built the present utilitarian wood-frame structure, which still operates today. The business was purchased by Walter Teeland in 1947, giving it its present name.[2] In 1972, the store was purchased by Jules and Leslie Mead and Neil Gail Bridgewater.

In 1986, the Meads donated the building to the Wasilla-Knik-Willow Creek Historical Society. The building was moved in 1987 as Teeland's Moonshine Shop,[3] and over the next ten years it was restored to the original look of the Herning's Place.[4]
In 1998, Jules and Leslie's son Brian Mead and his wife Colene opened Mead's Coffee House in the building which had become known as the Herning-Teeland-Mead Building.[4]
