Calef's Country Store
Overview
In 1869, just after the Civil War, Mary Chesley Calef mortgaged her family farm and pledged her savings to open Calef’s Store in the front rooms of her modest home in Barrington NH. Five generations of the Calef family operated Calef’s Big Store until the 1990’s, including Mary’s son Senator Austin Calef. Today the traditions endure as Calef's Country Store serves the local community as well as visitors from afar.
We still pump our own molasses and honey, cheese is aged in our cooler, and our smoked ham is mouth watering. Walk through our doors today and take a step back to a simple time, when customer service wasn't a gimmick, but the way things were done. The wood floors creak with stories of lore, our wood stove warms passers-by, the aroma of fresh baked breads and donuts entice even the healthiest of folks.
