Country Stores

At the center of many of Vermont’s small towns and village centers is an important gathering place — the Country Store. These are places to get coffee or food, pick up a paper or dinner, meet with friends, or find out about the days activities. We recognize the historic value of these stores and believe in the importance of keeping them vital in today’s world.
