The Huddleston Store and McKinzie Store, also known as the Lum 'n' Abner Jot 'Em Down Store and Museum, are a historic museum property on Arkansas Highway 88 in Pine Ridge, Arkansas. These two wood-frame retail buildings are all that remain of the pre-1920 buildings of the town; they were constructed by Dick Huddleston in 1912 and A.A. McKinzie in 1904, respectively. They now house a museum devoted to the radio show Lum and Abner, a comedy program featuring a fictional Pine Ridge based on this town, which was originally called Waters. It was renamed to Pine Ridge to honor the radio show's setting.[1]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
