Main Street

The locations of all buildings are fixed, excluding the Museum, which will be found on either the western or eastern end of the Main Street.

At the beginning of the game, only the Able Sisters, Nookling Junction, Nook's Homes, the Post Office, the bottom floor of the Museum, and the Photo Booth are available to the player for use. All other facilities must be unlocked and constructed.
