With a span reaching from 1812-2007, Colebrook Store is the oldest continually operating general store in the state. And in 2014, its 195-year-old history was restored when it opened its doors once again. It’s still a general store at heart; you can drop by to grab some groceries or snag some fresh baked sweets made right at the store. But now you can also sit down for a meal!

This small town locale is nothing but charm. So what are you waiting for?

The interior is just as classic. As soon as you walk through the door you're transported through time to an old general store.

You can purchase candy, knick knacks, and more at the front counter. The exposed shelves and vintage decor throughout perfectly complete the historic setting.
