there are many many 1* reviews here which seem to do with the proprietor. speaking for myself,…read morejust the pass'n tru life kind, this is one of those indescribably essential places YOU MUST NOT MISS. outside of course you're drawn in by the odd assemblage of moose statues, and of course maybe even wonder whatup with this. of course you realize that moose are seen here now and then, wanderers likely on a pilgrimage from their native area in the adirondack region. but it's easily dismissed unless you reflect on what may be inside the building. in my case, i drove past it maybe a quarter mile before realizing what i was about to miss... true rural americana, eccentric in all manner and aspects. i turned around, of course. the property is littered with all manner of handmade replicas of whatever, though i don't recall any of those wind-driven whirligigs, ever popular among the natives here. i took a few pics to add to the pile though really a camera doesn't do this place justice. if you're tempted to park in a veterans only spot, correct your attitude unless you qualify: show some respect, willya? i needed something to justify my going inside, and figured i'd buy some apple cider donuts, a few to keep me company. i was on a long drive west to the thousand islands where i was headed to stay with a friend in his cabin on oak island, and as grocery stores are scarce there i had to bring something to eat. i bought a dozen, they were a bit stale but then i prefer stale donuts. now the personal touch here ain't too gentle. the old man is crusty, but even crustier is his son, or so i assume he must be. one or both seem to have picked up a little limp along the way possibly as result of military service. whtever the case, only a dedicated first degree relative would be able to handle this job working with the old man. inside the place, there is every conceivable knick-knack ("small worthless objects, especially household ornaments" oxford online dictionary says) that exists, most made in the usa. for some reason though the vibe here isn't real welcoming so if you want to browse around, be sure to make it seem that you are looking for SOMETHING in particular. probably though nobody will give you a second glance until you begin to make your exit. i suppose there was a time when the place was visited by some hapless shoplifter, at least that might explain the lack of friendliness here. if so, i suspect he never came back after being treated to the wrath of these guys. and really, what is there here that anybody might want badly enough that they'd risk stealing rather than pay the man his $10. hell just walking around this assemblage of stuff is worth that as price of admission. i say give the old man and his son a break, they seem at heart nice enough men, just need to get their ashes hauled now and then.

Beth W. Review-you are wrong. My husband and I were present when this incident occurred. Your…read morehusband was asked 3 times to move his car and he became combative and was nasty and the owner was having none of it in front of the patrons. I also saw when customers were coming in that he said some nasty things about the owner. I have been a customer for about 18 yrs. This is always my first stop before heading to Manchester Vt every year and they are the nicest family-always very happy to see returning customers as a well as new ones. Very sad that you had to make a statement at the end of your review about politics-when that had absolutely nothing to do with the incident. Well you missed out on all the great local goods that the store offers to their loved customers. Yelping is a great way to serve the communities-keep it civil. Best~

My eye was more drawn to the Historical Marker in front and then I had to stop and check inside…read more The marker reads, "Old Stone Shop. Built in 1848, by Batcheller & Sons, makers of pitchforks. For many years after 1808, farm implements were manufactured here. Lyman Batcheller & his sons bought the forge in 1835, and their forks became famous throughout the U.S. and Europe. In 1902 they merged with the firm making True Temper products, which re-built the Inn." The marker was erected in 1949 by the Vermont Historic Sites Commission. Inside, not just farm implements but jewelry and toys and furniture and cutting boards and glassware and pottery. It's just amazing to see all of this stuff that is, well, hand made in Vermont.

My mom is my source of all things gardening, and she told me to go to Story's. I looked up the website (which is great) to see what they had in stock. Under "fruiting plants" in nursery stock, I found what was basically a comprehensive list of all the fruit I could think of...so we just decided to head over and take our chances. When we arrived and walked around a bit, I realized that they actually HAVE pretty much everything on that comprehensive list, because this place is massive and awesome. I don't think I can possibly list all the things they've got, but I feel pretty confident saying that their selection is better than anything you might find in the surrounding area: Trees, shrubs, evergreens, bushes, perennials, herbs, succulents, conifers, flowers, vegetables, vines...you want plants, they've got the plants. They've also got all the garden supplies you need...plant food, fertilizer, seeds, pesticides, tools, a gorgeous selection of pots, and hooks, and garden gnomes, and more. I didn't know I needed netting to keep the birds from eating my blueberries, but they did, and they've got the netting you need. I should note that my mom frowns on netting your berries, as she believes we need to share with the birds...but she's just a much better person than I am.

The store clerk was friendly and welcoming as she greeted me and every customer in the store, offering assistance and information on the vast array of items. There were toys (mostly nostalgic toys and also unique games that you wouldn't find at a brand named chain store), items that were locally hand crafted, candies, tea, candles, books, kitchen knick knacks ....and the list goes on. The prices were average/the same you would see in a similar store, but this country store probably has the most varied items I've seen in one place. It's definitely a "must see" especially if you're looking for a gift or souvenir.
