The Virginia Store That’s In The Middle Of Nowhere But So Worth The Journey
Shopping preferences are often marked by convenience, but it’s the remoteness of the Bluemont Country Store that marks the store’s true appeal. Tucked away in Loudoun County near the Blue Ridge Mountains awaits a destination general store that’s been in business since the 1840s. A visit to the authentic and charming Bluemont General Store is absolutely worth a visit, no matter how far away you may live.
Here in Virginia, we have a deep-rooted love for the classic general store. Visit the scenic small town of Bluemont and you'll find one that's almost impossible to pass up.
Inside the historic store, inventory ranges from delicious sandwiches to sundries and oddities. Some of these unique items include rain barrels, whimsical decor items, hardware items, books, gifts and more.
Perhaps the biggest draw to this charming storefront is the produce that awaits inside. With laying hens on site, shoppers can purchase farm fresh eggs as well as milk, fruits, vegetables, angus beef, and even local Virginia oysters.
The Bluemont General Store has been a staple in the area since it was established in the mid-1800s. Here's a photograph of the store from 1901, when it was known as Rice Bros.
Even if you don't have a shopping list in mind, you'll love perusing the unique items tucked away inside this charming store. Some locals simply stop in for coffee and a comfortable place to read the newspaper.
