The Wayside Country Store
We’re pretty fortunate to live in an area like New England; it seems like every corner you turn will put you in a place that’s rich in history. Princeton Green Apartments is located in Marlborough, MA, and is no exception to that unwritten rule. Just a 5-minute drive on Route 20 East (also known as Boston Post Road) is the <a href=”http://www.waysidecountrystore.com/”>Wayside Country Store</a>. The store opened in Sudbury center in 1790 and was moved to Marlborough in 1929 when Henry Ford (yes, <em>that</em> Henry Ford) purchased it and moved it to its current location. Entering the store makes you instantly feel like you’re time-travelling! Once inside, though, you’re jolted back to the present with an impressive selection of unique gifts to choose from. Whether you’re looking for a historical map of the town you grew up in or a beautifully hand-carved walking stick, they’ve got something for everyone and it’s easy to get lost in the merchandise. Once you’ve made your selections in the Country Store, you can head over to the <a href=”http://www.waysidecountrystore.com/candystore.htm”>Olde Tyme Candy Store</a> – and I challenge you to leave this store without making a purchase! Any kind of candy you can think of, they’ve got fully stocked and deliciously displayed – and there’s always someone to personally assist you with your selections. You just don’t find service like that anymore, I tell you.
Whether it’s a planned outing or you just happen to be driving by, it’s absolutely worth it to stop into the Wayside Country Store complex. From the history to the candy, the gifts, the baked goods, and beyond, there really is something for everyone. Check them out!
