OUTSTANDING ON-SITE AUCTION COMMENT: Seamons, one of Vermont's earliest Country Stores and Post Offices, is situated in one of Vermont's most scenic villages known for its medicinal waters which has been a mecca for tourists in years gone by. This quaint village has kept much of its original character and seems to be lost in time. The store closed in the 30's and for a brief time was an antique shop in the 40's.
