I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
Editor’s Note: Since the publication of this article, the Old Country Store and Emporium has permanently closed.
There’s nothing quite like a visit to a general store to feel as though you’ve entered a time machine. A trip to a country store in Massachusetts is always a nostalgic step back in time. Offering a variety of goods, country stores were the places for the community to purchase provisions back in the day. One country store in Mansfield has been a landmark for well over a century and is a must-visit place for anyone who enjoys a trip back in time.
The Old Country Store & Emporium in Mansfield has been a landmark in the community for over 190 years and offers a bit of everything to those who enter its doors.
It's quite amazing how this store has been open since 1829, withstanding the test of time and growing in the process. It's also consistently been named the "Best Gift Shop," "Best Furniture Store," and "Best Home Decorating Store" by several local news outlets over the years.
With the feel of a quintessential New England general store, The Old Country Store is quite massive with 13 rooms covering an expanse of 17,000 square feet. You can find just about anything you're looking for here!
Throughout the store, there's a bit of everything from furniture and art to penny candy, fudge, handmade items, home decor, canned goods, and so much more!
Make sure you set aside enough time when you visit The Old Country Store & Emporium. You'll need it. And don't forget to pick up some candy and fudge while you're here.
