F.H. Gillingham & Sons is quite the General Store! I'd have to say it has everything from general foodstuffs, items for pets, candy and more candy, hand crafted wood, a huge selection of wine, leather wallets, hunting and fishing wear, games, and everything else. They have a super cool original Otis elevator. There's a lot to say about this store, but just go there and find out for yourself.

Great selection of items. Very much a throwback to the past. Very cool to just come hang out.

Walking through town we saw this awesome store and ventured in . Wow! This is what a true Vt general store is all about. It has everything you could possibly need. It goes WAY back too. So many nooks and crannies to explore. Truly a delight to be in . We talked about it for an hour after visiting.

Lots of good stuff and very friendly staff! The store is much larger than 8t looks from the outside. There are areas in the back that are huge with games and toys. The other areas have pet stuff and kitchen items.

Lovely shop with several nice things (useful for tourists like us who have been traveling for a few weeks and need to restock on some necessary items but also want to buy or try out some of their goodies).Friendly staff 🙏

Love F.H. Gillingham & Sons general store. Its like going back in time when you enter the establishment. From the creaky floor, smell, and merchandise. A little of everything to choose from. Recommend!

Classic general store with everything you would expect one to have. Old-school vibe inside with plenty of space. Lots of Vermont specialty items alongside clothing, hardware, candy, and cooking supplies to name a few.

I bought some maple syrup from here. Good quality product and the store itself is charming little thing. Woodstock has a special spirit.

This amazing store has an incredible selection of high quality items, and is definitely not your typical general store. We bought Stonewall kitchen crackers and jelly to go with the Sancerre and Rose wines we picked out from the wonderful wine section. We also got Darn Tough Vermont wool hiking socks.If you’re staying in the area this is a great place for shopping.

Small gift shop and grocery store. Not super cozy or quaint and it was very crowded. But I’m sure you could find what you were looking for.

Very nice shop. Super crowded on a rainy day during leaf-peeping season.

This place is amazing. They have everything from toys to produce. They have a great beer and wine selection are my reasonable prices. This is a true general store.

Such a cute shop and they have a huge variety of goods. We found some lovely high-quality gifts, but it's also just fun to browse.

Awesome little store in Woodstock. Staff are sweet and helpful, always happy to help you find what you’re looking for. Special shout out to Tania who was super nice and made my experience very special. The store has just about everything and is laid out very nicely. I love shopping there and would recommend it to everyone. Especially with Covid, I trust Gillinghams a lot and feel very safe there compared to other big box stores.

This is a fun store. We were entertained. I was looking for Darn Tough socks, which brings me to why I don't give them 5 stars. I could only find 2 pair of men's large. All the rest of the men's were extra large. I bought the 2 pair they had and I love them. I've changed my mind. I'm giving them 5 stars but I'm not rewriting this review. Besides this place is iconic.

I always look forward to visiting this store!! Do yourself a favor and visit. No matter what you’re looking for they just might have it in one of their many rooms!

Best place to get your local VT foods and gifts! This place has a lot of history and pretty much anything you're looking for! Staff are super friendly and helpful! You can't end your visit to Woodstock without a stop at Gillingham's!

This is an institution in Woodstock. Seems like it would be a hardware store, but its much more than that. I'd call it a mandatory tourist stop for anyone visiting Woodstock. They have food and drink as well as hardware and tourist trinkets. So, you can stock up for an evening in the hotel room if you are not eating out. Great visit, and they''ll allow you to bring your dog in.

Cool place to visit! Lots of interesting things in here! Country gifts and more! Huge wine selection for those who enjoy wine, and some of the local restaurants are BYOB, so this is a great place to find that bottle!

This place was really neat! They were low on inventory ( we visited just after Christmas) but they did an amazing job of merchandising it so it looked full and inviting. If you’re in town and want to step back in time, this is the place

Picture yourself walking back in time into a 1950s General Store in the mountains. That's FH Gillingham & Sons. This store has multiple rooms and seems to go on forever... including room of wines, foods, Carhartt clothing and some souvenirs. Wish there was a greater selection of sweatshirts and made local type of stuff, but I definitely give it an A- for the experience.

A unique country store with almost anything you might need, food, gifts, clothing. Stop in for a look, even if you don't need something you might find an interesting item.

Quaint store with pretty much anything you could possibly want. Cheese and fishing rods? They have them! Butter dishes and candy? They have that too! A true general store!
