This Classic Country General Store, established in 1869, is a New England tradition and a retail landmark that has established itself as a specialty food and gift retailer for the tourist population.

Next door, you ll also find the Gift store, featuring the best New England has to offer.

You can also follow the crowds to various events throughout the year, such as the Annual Baked Bean Bake Off, the (largest in the country) Truck Meet to show old trucks and tractors or a Summer Craft Fair & Festival. Annually, over 150,000 customers walk through the front door.
