The Vermont Country Store in Weston Vermont 9-24-2014
Although The Vermont Country store first opened in Weston, Vermont, in 1946, its origins lie in the Orton family’s long Vermont history. In 1897, Gardner Lyman Orton, the 8th generation of Ortons in the United States, opened a general store along with his father Melvin Teachout in Calais, Vermont. Gardner and his wife Leila's eldest son Vrest was born the same year. The Teachout-Orton store was the focal point of Vrest's early years and served as the original inspiration for The Vermont Country Store.
After serving in World War I, in France, Vrest entered the class of 1923 at Harvard and then served briefly in the U.S. Consular Service before moving to New York City in 1925. There he was on the staff of H.L. Mencken’s American Mercury, Alfred Knopf publishers, the Saturday Review of Literature, Life magazine, and in 1929 founded the international book collector’s magazine, The Colophon. During this time, Vrest became known as an authority on typography and book collecting and published many articles about various American writers. Vrest returned to Vermont in 1930 and settled in the village of Weston. He married Mildred Ellen Wilcox in 1936 and founded a book publishing company, The Countryman Press, the same year.

During World War II Vrest worked at the Pentagon as a speechwriter and publicist. There he hatched the idea of creating a catalog and store based on the Teachout-Orton store.

New England Trip 2014: Weston, VT
It's alright, we're tourists.
Two cousins travel the country, this time through the New England area. We started in South Carolina, drove north to Maine, headed west to Ohio, then made it back home. We covered fifteen states in nine days for this road trip.
This stop: Weston
We wanted to see the historic town of Weston. It was raining so we did not get out.
