In search of New England
specialty foods and lost candy bars in beautiful Weston Vt.
By Eric H.
For those not familiar to the area,
Weston, Vt., represents New England at its finest. A charming village green with a gazebo gently
tells you, "I am New England." The serene, green environs
evokes a sweet dream, only this isn't a dream. Weston is a Vermont
masterpiece, filled with charmingly quaint New England homes,
and sunny streets filtered by pure Green Mountain air. Many of
us know of homes placed on the National Register of Historic
Places. In this case, the whole village of Weston is listed on
the National Register of Historic Places. Everywhere you look
is like a Norman Rockwell painting.
Weston may be a quiet town, but it
does have a retail district. It's called the Vermont Country Store ,
purveyors of Yankee bargains, Vermont-made clothing and just
about anything else under the sun.
It wouldn't be a stretch to spend several
hours at the Vermont Country Store, in Weston, given its vast
selection of merchandise. With dark wood charm and a cavernous,
but sweet smelling experience -- from the scented candles to
the incredible fudge -- the Vermont Country store is a classic
general store that isn't so general. Wonderful clothing, candles,
kitchen gadgets, furniture, and so many hard-to-find items from
yesteryear are amongst the 5,000 great products available at
this New England legend.
Many people find the food selection
fascinating, and ultimately addictive. Tried and true New England
favorites like Vermont maple syrup, old fashioned New England
fudge and sharp Vermont cheddar cheese are authentic regional
favorites. "Lost candies" like Chuckles, fruit slices,
Sky Bars, Walnettos, as well as the childhood favorite chocolate
drink, Bosco, are just a few of the food and candy selections
that can be found at the Vermont Country Store.
It's a heartwarming experience, tailor-made
for those looking to bring back great childhood memories, and
located in one of New England's best towns.
