The town of Mont Vernon is not exactly a bustling metropolis. It only has about 2,400 residents, and there’s just one small primary school in the town. It’s the kind of place that’s absolutely wonderful to live in, but that outsiders wouldn’t give a second thought to. However, it has one of the most lovely general stores you’ll find anywhere — and it’s absolutely worth a little road trip to visit it.
The Mont Vernon General Store has been in operation for more than 160 years, and it underwent a full, careful restoration in 2011 that gave it some more modern touches while maintaining its old-fashioned charm. It’s the kind of place that tourists and locals alike adore, and for good reason.
