McAlester’s commercial roots go way back – the town’s namesake, JJ McAlester, set up its first store 150 years ago, which later made an appearance in the book and film(s) True Grit. Today’s Old Town carries the tradition with a handful of antique shops on the old Jefferson Highway, a couple miles north of McAlester’s downtown.
