Mill District General Store, Amherst
Can’ t take it with you when you go? We think you can shove a lot of Hampshire County in your suitcase if you really try.
Our locally owned stores aren’ t just any old retail— they’ re forms of expression for owners who lovingly curate them. You can shop for fair trade, handmade, museumquality goods; hand-woven hip clothing; repurposed and modern furniture and home decor; and inventive toys to calm the kids on the car ride home. Our thriving downtowns and artist studios put Amazon and Etsy to shame— and hey, you’ ll get same-day delivery if you make your purchase right in the shop.
