A timeless way to jump back into the good old days, a visit to anyone of New York’s long-standing general stores will make you feel nostalgic. As much as we love diving into the past at places like the St. James General Store, a spot that’s considered to be the oldest continually operating general store in our state, but every now and then we like to travel off the beaten path to experience something a little bit different.
Roughly 30-miles northeast of Albany where you’re out by the Vermont border, the town of Hoosick is home to a quirky roadside country store.
