Once you get out of the more populated areas of Vermont and drive through all the small and quaint towns, one thing becomes abundantly clear: general stores grace almost all of the small and timeless towns of Vermont. There is something reassuring and pleasant about seeing and visiting these general stores. Their simplicity and everlasting qualities remind us of a bygone era. And today, these places carry on the tradition and serve up their loyal customers and visitors alike scrumptious sandwiches, pastries, and homemade snacks and beverages. One of many must-visit general stores in Vermont is the Barnard General Store in Barnard, Vermont.
Established in 1832, the Barnard General Store is one of the oldest general stores in all of Vermont. Located on the banks of Silver Lake in Barnard (10 miles from Woodstock), this historic building has a charming store and beautiful views of the lake behind the shop.
