The Old Store Museum & Giftshop
THE OLD STORE MUSEUM:
We are closed for the months of January through March, and gearing up for re-opening on Thursday, March 31. Hopefully, the snow will have started to melt by then!
The Buying Committee (Gloria Thorne, Phyllis Mc- Goldrick, Pat Hayes and Moira Kelly) has been braving the winter storms to shop for Spring. We’ve unearthed a wealth of new merchandise that we’re excited about, and can’t wait to present it to you.
Come join us at our Spring Preview Party on Saturday, April 9 from 4 to 7 p.m., and view our new collections while enjoying a glass of wine and hors d’oeuvres.
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 - with a wide range of gifts for the family and for friends. The Old Mercantile sold for every need, so does our Museum Shop of today. A store museum c. 1867 gives visitors a chance to reminisce and a second floor gallery shows rotating historical and art exhibitions.
OPEN: Thurs.
