Default Moultonborogh Country Store

Check out their website. This old general store is a great place to browse & they sell homemade jams. candles, kitchen gadgets,moccasins, penny candies, clothing, books, etc. They also have maple syrup, Vt cheese, old fashioned pickle barrels. Upstairs is a museum. It's on Rte. 25 & a few minutes from the Loon Center which is also interesting.

Yes my wife could spend half a day in there. Me? Not so much. But it's 6 gals with no guys so it would work fine.

Default American Cottage

Another place that's has some very nice stuff and well worth a visit is "American Cottage" on route 11 in Gilford. Top quality custom made furniture, lots of custom hand made items, antiques, Nepalese hand knotted rugs and all kinds of other neat things. It's a great place to visit!!

Thanks again for the great idea and link to the site for further details and directions. Another example of the "power of the people" with respect to information sharing on this great forum!

Without it they would have undoubtedly spent another beautiful Spring afternoon in front of the video game console.
