Shelburne Country Store

The main room of the store is the original building which was built in circa 1835. In 1839 the land was sold and Pastor Bacon ran the store as a shoe and carpenter shop and then shoe shop for a number of years. The entire store became a general store in 1886. Each of the 7 rooms were individual merchants; a cobbler, cooper (barrel maker) and the main room was a furniture and lamp repair shop. In September 1952, the store changed to a “store and barber shop”, in the two rooms behind the registers. and one of them was the town gas station. In 1957, the building was sold to Walla & June Stearns which they used as their dwelling. They transitioned the store to hard goods, added “penny candy” and it became the iconic Shelburne Country Store that it is today! In the 1970’s, the owners cut doorways to connect all 7 rooms to make one big store instead of 5 small stores. Throughout the store you will see antiques and décor dating back to the 1800!
