In the early nineteenth century, Asa Knight<\/a> operated a general store<\/a> in the village center of Dummerston, Vermont<\/a>. In 1826, Knight bought the store<\/a>, the oldest section of which had been built around 1810, and added a storekeeper’s office.

In 1972, it was moved<\/a> to Old Sturbridge Village<\/a>, restored and restocked to represent a village store of the 1830s.
