Hussey’s General Store

Hussey’s was a huge part of my summers in Windsor as a kid. We used to go up multiple times each summer to visit my aunt and uncle who lived just down the road. It was always my favorite part of the trip.
It’s a great place to just mosey around, looking at all of the random stuff they have, there are wedding gowns on the second floor, guns, taxidermy stuff, there’s also the essentials like milk, bread, soda, lottery tickets, etc.
Pretty much anything you could need at any given time, Hussey’s has it.

I was surprised that this little store I’ll just say this if they don’t have it you don’t need it it seems like they have almost everything

I hate to be a grumpasaurus on this but I was completely underwhelmed by Hussey’s.
Granted, I did not need it to be a general store. I didn’t need band-​aids, or beer, or guns, or anything else for that matter.
I thought it would be kooky enough to be a tourist attraction. Not really so. There’s nothing that weird about it. Yes, there are wedding dresses. (A few on a rolling rack upstairs.) They just have a ton of stuff. It must be very convenient if you live nearby, but other wise, not worth checking out.
I did buy a vitamin water, and some hunting themed wrapping paper.

There aren’t enough words to describe how much I love Husseys and how it’s a must stop when I’m up at my family’s lakefront cabin in Somerville, Maine.
This place has everything just like the sign says… guns (first floor), wedding dresses (second floor), cold beer (first floor). If they don’t have it, you don’t need it and I’ve never NOT been able to find things here.
They have a full service butcher and deli and I swear, I’ve gotten some wicked awesome cuts of steak and venison from here that go great on the grill. They have a beer and wine selection that rivals a lot of local liquor stores. No hard liquor though.
Downstairs is a full stocked ACE Hardware department. Many last minute cabin and dock repairs have been completed with dash-out-to-Hussey’s purchases. They also have a wonderful selection of plants and flowers for those Maine gardens.
I don’t get the gripe about parking. Full lot in front and to the side and also a huge open lot across the street. The cashiers are my favorites, they’ve been working there since the place opened and one of them always remembers me and my younger brothers from when we were little.
It’s a great place.

Hussey General Store is a very Maine place! It’s one of them places you have to see, because there are so few of them left! They really do have MOST everything! From guns, to clothing, to foods its a fun place to go to and see real Maine! Oh, you will find the best meets around!
On the downside of things, most things are over priced! and very very slow to check out!!! and parking is not good at all!
All of that said, check it out its worth a visit!

Where would we be without Hussey’s? Oh God… I don’t even want to think about it.
Hussey’s has everything. True story. EVERYTHING. A gas station out front, appliances on the lower level, groceries on the first floor, guns and clothing (what’s up, wedding gowns?!) on the second floor. The fenced in field down the road with all the deer? Pick out your dinner, and they’ll kill it for you. (I just threw up a little in my mouth).
My parents have a place in Windsor, and oh baby… no visit is complete without a trip to the general store.
