The Lincoln General Store

The purchase of the Lincoln General Store is the first and most pressing project for the Lincoln Community Trust.  

The Lincoln General Store is the heart of the community - it is a gathering place, “bus stop”, local news hub, and a place to pick up groceries and gifts. Most importantly, it is the central location that gives our small town its identity, and where you are sure to run into a neighbor. The success of this project is critical in maintaining Lincoln’s sense of connection and togetherness, and depends upon your support. 

The Lincoln General Store has been in continuous operation since the  1800s. After running the store for over 30 years, the current owners are ready to pass the torch to a new generation of caring proprietors. 

The Lincoln Community Trust fundraising campaign must raise $625,000 to complete the purchase of the Lincoln General Store and to begin necessary renovations of the building.
