It's quite amazing how this store has been open since 1829, withstanding the test of time and growing in the process. It's also consistently been named the "Best Gift Shop," "Best Furniture Store," and "Best Home Decorating Store" by several local news outlets over the years.

With the feel of a quintessential New England general store, The Old Country Store is quite massive with 13 rooms covering an expanse of 17,000 square feet. You can find just about anything you're looking for here!
