Vermont’s oldest businesses have a certain charm that just fills you with nostalgia, even if they’ve been around way before you were born. There’s a general store in Stowe that’s been around since 1895 and you’ll absolutely love everything about it:

Welcome to Shaw's General Store! Howard E. Shaw opened this charming shop back in 1895, and today it's run by the 5th generation of the Shaw family.
