The Old Fashioned Variety Store In Vermont That Will Fill You With Nostalgia
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.
The address of Shaw's General Store is 54 Main St., Stowe, VT 05672.
While much has changed since the late 1800s, the store still has its original floors, ceiling beams, and counters. You'll feel nostalgic for a bygone era, even as you shop the shelves for new, modern merchandise.
Shaw's takes pride in offering local Vermont products. Whether you're shopping for a gift to send to an out-of-state friend, or just need another bottle of maple syrup for your own cabinet, you'll find plenty of locally-made items here.
Set aside at least an hour to visit Shaw's General Store. You could stay here all day, perusing the aisles and checking out the wares, and you're certain to find more than a few things you just can't live without during your visit.
2020 will be Shaw's 125th year in business! You'll want to pay a visit to this adorable store soon. Its doors open promptly at 9 a.m., seven days a week.
