Nothing brings on a sense of nostalgia quite like a visit to an old-fashioned country store. Brown & Hopkins Country Store was established in 1809 and is one of the oldest in America. While many things have changed over the years, the old-fashioned penny candy counter brings back visions of excited children exchanging coins for sticky sweets. Whether you are longing for a whip of licorice or peppermint stick, this long-standing spot has you covered.
