"A store has existed on this site since 1879 when the first general store was opened here by Perry Warrington (P.W.) Richardson. The present store was built in 1908. The room on the south side was added later and used as a grain shed. In the 1920s the Tremont Savings Bank was operated in the small room on the north side of the building. The floor and walls in the main room are original. The shelving was added later. In other rooms, where repairs required replacement of original material, original materials were duplicated as closely as possible. The country store was renovated in 1965 and, more recently, in 2002. The main floor has been kept basically unchanged and is the main display area. The side entrance, ADA compliant access and bathroom were added in 2002. Upstairs are the Tremont Historical Society office, a work area for restoration and cataloging, and a research room that is open to the public by appointment" ("History of the Museum" at Tremont Historical Society and Country Store Museum ( https://www.tremontmainehistory.us/museum : accessed 03 March 2025).
