Fodor's Expert Review Dorset Union Store

Dating to 1816, this 200-year-old general store is the oldest continuously operating country store in Vermont. Under the reins of co-owners Cindy Laudenslager and Gretchen Schmidt, it has great prepared dinners, a full deli, delicious homemade baked goods, and a big wine selection. It also sells interesting gifts, and houses its own soft-serve ice-cream machine.
