"In this day and age of computer technology, let’s  follow in the footsteps of small country shoppes scattered along on back roads across the country that have been, and continue to be, part of our nation's heritage. Like in centuries past, here you will find the pleasure of chatting with shopkeepers, the delight of seeing how goods are kept in cupboards and on counters, and on the lovely old beams overhead, on every nail and peg there is something useful, something beautiful, something for yourself or as a gift.
 
At The Stratton Parsonage, we believe shopping is a joy and time well spent. Come and spend a few minutes with us, in the tradition of all the hospitable purveyors of goods and merchandise in the best tradition of old Vermont."
