Home decor and furnishings
Pet products
And so much more
We love the Village Mercantile’s origin story. They are a community-owned store born out of a need to offer better access to things they need and to keep local dollars in the community.
As they say on their website, “If you’re looking for North Country-ready clothes to get through the winter (or through your shift at work), wares that turn your house into a home, or handmade Adirondack crafts that evoke the spirit of this place we love, The Village Mercantile is the place you need to turn first.”
Their online store is a gem and lets you “live like an Adirondacker, wherever you are.” Their website has all the information you need regarding current hours of operation and other updates.
