The General Store, Shelburne

Its front-gable orientation, accentuated with a multi-paned, triangular pedimental window, reflects the popular Greek Revival style.

[2] The first level re-creates a late nineteenth-century general store with fully stocked shelves displaying the types of goods available for purchase.

Smaller adjoining rooms offer a variety of community services including a post office, a barbershop, and a taproom.

The adjacent wing houses a replication of a nineteenth-century Apothecary Shop that the museum added after moving the building to the grounds.

Replicated settings include a dentist’s laboratory and examining room, the offices of an ophthalmologist, and those of an ear, nose, and throat physician.
