America’s Oldest General Store Is In New Hampshire And Its Fudge Is To Die For
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.
People come from far and wide to try it and many wish they lived closer to get it more often. Good thing you can order it online! We've included the website below, just in case.
The Brick Store is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Learn more about the history of this fun store on their website and see more photos on Facebook. You can give them a call on 603-747-2074. Address: 21 Lisbon Road, Bath, NH 03740.
