Few things scream New England like an old-fashioned general store. Many are housed in their original structures, evoking curiosity about what life must have been like back when folks visited every day for their life necessities. When you walk inside them, you’re quickly transported to a simpler life. A life when candy was served from jars and eggs were delivered fresh daily. This one is no exception.

Please note, The Brick Store is temporarily closed.

The Brick Store has been in business since the early 1790s, making it the Oldest Continuously Operated General Store in America! It was the town's post office until the 1940s and today you can still find some of the old post boxes inside.

The candy counter here offers tons of old-timey stuff as well as the new, fun candy kids want. But we're partial to their fudge.
