Reviews of The Old Country Store and Museum (Museum)

david sigovitch

It has everything you'd want and expect to find in a Country Store plus more.

eJohn Waldron

Unique items, old fashion candy, hiking maps, books about historical New Hampshire, and of course touristy items too. Plan to spend some time to really look around.

Lisa Teichmann

I love this place, but the employees aren't always great.

Brenda Holland

A very nice old country store

Aric Wilsie

We stop here everytime we are in the area! For us the aged cheddar right off the block and the old wooden barrels full of giant pickles are the main attraction... not to mention the old time candy selection will satisfy the kids as well as the kids at heart. Local Jams and pickled vegetables compliment the local cheese selection... Nicknacks... candles... and almost anything you could shake a stick at. I feel young everytime I come here!

This is a most stop for anyone in the area. It has plenty of stuff to appeal to everyone. You can get candy from the counter, jumbo pickles out of a barrel and old fashion soda, like Birch Beer and Sasprilla.

Lisa Moreau

We visit this store several times a season because they have some really unique items. I like to stop here for gifts, nick nacks and household goods.

Nostalgic, something for everyone but it come a tourist price.

Tom J

I don't know where to start. This place is full of wonders. Maze of rooms filled with hand crafted goods, clothes, decorations, hardware, local food products, maple sirup, candies, sweets. I can't even name it all. Ond top of everything is little museum of everyday items and tools.

Marissa S. Bailey

Cute little place. They had a variety of jams including hot pepper and Jalapeño. A few different hot sauces and I really liked their chocolate peanut butter fudge. Aside from foodstuffs if you want to get a keepsake from the area this is the place to go!

A little bit of everything all in one place. I'll be back because I couldn't see it all!

This is a GREAT country store. Every summer for the last 30 years my family vacation in this area. We always stopped here. They had everything. From penny candy, local crafts, anything you want. You will love it.

Edward DeMedeiros

Counrty Store partially says it; it's that (with all the local blueberry jams and preserves, among others) and more. Lots of gifts to pick from. Area clothing, hats, tee shirts. Novelties and trinkets. A must stop for those touring that area of New Hampshire. Free parking. Crowded isles, so it's not set up for wheelchairs. It does have that old store feel.

Randy Norman

cool place. Lot's of fun items. Perfect for the shoppers!

Jesse Buss

A must stop every time we're in Moultonboro. I've been going in there for 40 years.

Mike Murray

Fantastic little country store that allows you to step back in time. I remember my father taking me to fill bags with Penny candy. I now take my own daughter and the place still looks the same. Great old wooden fridges holding their fine cheese and other refrigerated items. A must stop if you're in the area

GERALD TIMM

Just about any gadget u can think of is sold here.

Liane James

Gteat place to spend an entire day! Lots of interesting things to look at or purchase.

Sue Corman

Big tourist attraction. Nostalgic, they have a penny candy counter and a barrel full of giant dill pickles. Lots of knick-knacks and New Hampshire souvenirs. Very cool place to browse with nothing particular in mind to buy.

Corey Mooney

I've been coming here since I was a kid, and make it a point to stop in whenever I'm in the area. The nostalgia of the penny candies is obviously what first draws you in, but once you get past that, this place has something for everyone. Around every corner is some new area to explore, be it cookware, cast iron, NH souvenirs, clothes, toys, garden ornaments, knick knacks, food and drinks, signage... The list goes on. Another hidden gem is the museum upstairs, which is always worth a visit to learn about the history of the area. All in all, this a must visit if you are in the area. I know it is for me.

Gacha Gamer

Wood cabin feel. Wood smell. Hard woid floors great staff with incredible manors. Love love love everything they have. They have so much stuff from candy in a bag to toys and souvenirs and gifts..tshirts and nick-nacks galore!! Awesome!!

Laura

Tasty cheese and fun things to browse...

Tanner Whitt

Great tourist attraction! Had lots of fun at the museum and bought some candy!

Charles Dunn

Lots to see in a great rustic setting. Great prices, wide variety of great items, and friendly, helpful staff. I live here and still love to go there when I can. The classical small town country store. If you're in the area you'll be glad you stopped in. There are very few places like this left and this is a great example.

Heather Elrod

Great BBQ fast!! Delicious smoked meats, and sides.

Neal Burns

Lots of cool things. Its is very cool that they use antique cash registers

Very nice quaint store. Much bigger than it seems at first. Incredible variety of items. Worth the trip.

Dianne Winchell

What a fun place. Beautiful old building housing many wonderful trinkets to buy or just browse. Nice little museum upstairs.

Paul Lorandeau

It is fun to step back to a day where the country store was to the only place to get products from coal shovels to cheddar cheese, plows to candy. They may have modern vacation trinkets but you can also get a replacement chimney for your oil lamp & hand wrought nails they don't even have an operationl cash register! It's a great place to visit on a rainy summer day or a cold winter afternoon, oh did I forget to be mention museum upstairs? Make sure you check it out next time you find yourself in the area

Tanya Heath

Lived all my life in NH and today is the 1st day I've ever gone to this store. This place has a little of everything... Very unique items! Dill pickles from the big wooden barrel were awesome!

Carolyn LeCroy

On our travels we hunt for "country stores." This one had room after room of a well stocked variety of items: candy counter, cheese, signs, candles, clothes, toys. Also, antique cabinets where items are displayed and a wooden Indian. Worth an extended browse.

Shelly Kopyscianski

Great atmosphere and friendly staff

Mitzi Jessen

Interesting and popular place to visit. Plan on taking a few minutes to cover all the isles; it was very crowded. They had a large assortment of cast iron cook ware, plus hooks and bells. They have a large assortment of candies including several kinds of black licorice. Bought some sharp cheddar cheese which was good with crackers. They also had a museum of old wooden equipment from the past upstairs. You can't see everything in one visit. Great place to pick up gifts.

Catherine Mushaw

Such a neat old Country store.

Amy Mason

Not wheelchair accessible. Different levels close isles. Museum upstairs. Lots of different things to buy there. Fun. Candy isle with candy old and new.

White Maxx

DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE! Looks small from outside but you simply cannot believe how huge it is. I literally can't think of anything they don't have! Great for finding hard-to-find items, too. It's really fun. Something for everyone!

Bob Glin

Tourist Mecca! If it rains and you are in the lakes region this place is a must. Thousands of items from candy to door bells. A must see.

R Howard

I remember this store back in the late 60s when my parents and I vactioned at Shannon Lodge owned by Edward Default. I distinctly remember the player piano playing songs from years past. Also remember the Church across the way having their Bean supper on Saturday night. Back then I was in my late teens and now I am 70. Nice memories and hope to revisit there some time in the future.

Sunnypatch Bayou

I could get lost for days

Lisa Uzanas

I've coming here since I was a child and it hasn't changed.

Jean Ripley

We're on vacation, and our hosts made this our first stop. Lots of fun stuff and was told the place is always very busy and popular.

Michael Maguire

This is a MUST stop in Moultonborough, NH. Has been there forever. From the antique cash register to the penny candy the place is like walking back in time. They have some useful yet useless stuff that makes compulsively buy. I DARE YOU TO GO IN THERE AND NOT BUY ANYTHING!

Souvenir store like it says. Something for everyone. Including a large selection of candies. Some local stuff, most from China Some nostalgic items. Lots of kitchen utensils and other. Not an old fashioned country store like it used to be - but that is showing my age. Very interesting museum upstairs of local items from long ago.

George Lincoln

Great fun for entire family! Great selection of unique items for the kitchen and around the home. Wonderful selection of candy and other sweet treats. Interesting Museum on the second floor. All sorts of gifts that you won't find everyday. Something for everybody. Great place to visit especially on a rainy day when it's no fun being out on the lake. Your kids will get a kick out of it!

Anne Fox

Always an annual stop. Love the Vermont cheddar, that they sell by the pound, at the front!

Kerry Lynch

Amazing general store with too much to even describe! Memorabilia, souvenirs, candy, local cheese, country signs, just to name a few. Really friendly owners and employees. A must do stop when visiting the northern part of Lake Winnipesaukee.

CHDeA3

My favorite country store!!

Bill Devino

A definite must go. Anything you want or need they probably have. Great place if you are doing a man cave or a garage. The homemade soda pop is good. I suggest that you grab some fudge on your way out. Very well worth the trip.

Step back in time. Enjoy penny candy. A museum. And all sorts of treasures

Marilyn Cambridge-Reece

Mike Schiemer

Really fun place with a big selection of pretty much anything you can think of.

Jennifer Watrous

This store is MASSIVE and sells any kind of thing imaginable you'd think to find at a touristy country store. The pickles were good but kinda weird. Most of the stuff was local and I love that. There was a museum upstairs but I didn't go.

First time here... Everything you can imagine in here and then some! Plan on spending a lot of time to look around. It's huge.

What a treasure trove this place turned out to be. From the classic candy, the kitchen gadget room, the map room, the pickles and pickled veggies, the sauces and spices, the tshirts, if you didn't find something wonderful here, you weren't trying hard enough. It is a place you found explore for hours. We very much enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back.

cloey murphy

This is the top place for goodies and souvenirs during a trip to New Hampshire. Basically anything you can think of is here. I would definitely recommend.
