THE OLD STORE MUSEUM:

Back by popular demand—and to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Candlewood Lake—our lake display! It will be on display in the 2nd floor gallery of The Old Store and feature the old and new of this man-made creation that changed the course of local history.

OPENINGS:

Due to volunteer vacations and availability, these exhibits will evolve slowly for late spring openings.

The first store at this site is listed in the Sherman land records as a mercantile belonging to David Northrop, Jr. in 1829.  It was acquired by the Society in 1999, preserved with the intent of "reviving" the Old Store.  Featuring displays from its past, the Old Store is new again with a wide range of collectible merchandise old and new which reflect Sherman's style and heritage.  A store museum c. 1867 gives visitors a chance to reminisce and a second floor gallery shows rotating historical and art exhibitions. 



The Old Store accepts antiques and collectibles on consignments.
