Visit F.H. Gillingham & Sons, the Ultimate Vermont General Store

It doesn’t get more classic New England than Woodstock, Vermont, and in this season one segment from “Weekends with Yankee” (episode 111), Richard is in Woodstock at the F.H. Gillingham & Sons general store. Current owner Jireh Billings, the great-grandson of its founder, shows us around and shares how the store has evolved and continues to take pride in its deep roots in the Woodstock community. As the ultimate Vermont general store, it’s no wonder its doors have stayed open for nearly 140 years.
