Kixmiller's Store was a historic commercial building located at Freelandville in Widner Township, Knox County, Indiana. Built in 1866 and expanded in 1878, it was a two-story, block long, brick building containing four storefronts. The building measured 140 feet by 108 feet by 135 feet. Its architecture reflected some Italianate style design influences.[2]: 2  It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]

Kixmiller's was demolished by its owner on February 20, 2017, as structural deterioration had left it in a dangerous and irreparable state.[3]
