My husband and I used to drive on weekends to learn the area when we first moved to New York’s Capital Region more than 30 years ago.
Route 7 seemed a lovely trip, passing all the antique shops, the mountains and row after row of pine trees. We came across the Chocolate Barn in nearby Vermont, which originally was an 1842 sheep barn, decided to stop in, and bought some chocolates after looking at the antiques on two floors. The hand-dipped chocolates and some of the fudge were a great way to appease our sweet tooth. But, most impressive was the display of 600 chocolate molds used to form Swiss chocolate figures. It was quite an enjoyable experience on a cool fall day.
Sadly, the Chocolate Barn has been sold. All the chocolates are gone. The entire inventory of antiques and
accessories will be sold at an all-sales-final, auction. The inventory will be displayed inside the barn and the auction will take place inside in a walk-around country style. No formal seating.
Inspection of items will be Sunday, April 11, at 9:30am, followed by the auction at 11am on the Chocolate Barn property on the West side of 7A south of Arlington and north of the town of Shaftsbury, Vermont.
Terms: Absolute auction; 13% buyers premium reduced to 10% for cash or approved check. Immediate removal, Bring your trucks!
