The Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce kicked off the 2025 summer season at the Eagles Mere Historic Village on June 28. The event showcased new businesses and celebrated the existing shops that give the village its original charm.
The event started with a ribbon cutting at the Eagles Mere Welcome Center, sponsored by the Eagles Mere Air Museum. The new center provides artisanal gifts for sale, as well as information about local events and organizations.
Be Unique, Be You is another newcomer. An extension of the popular boutique in Hughesville, the new Eagles Mere location offers women’s clothing, accessories, and gifts.
The Sweet Shop, a beloved staple in town, has opened The Sweet Shop General Store across the street from their main location. Customers will find groceries, breakfast sandwiches, hoagies, pizzas, and other essentials.
Aferro.art Gallery and Studio, home of original artwork by Anthony Ferro, has launched an exciting expansion. The gallery has moved into the larger space adjacent to The Sweet Shop General Store.
Two other recent businesses, Berry Mere Studio and Worlds End Coffee Company, were highlighted with openings by the chamber as well.
The chamber also recognized the village’s longtime businesses, including Eagles Mere Air Museum, Eagles Mere Auto Museum, Eagles Mere Bookstore, Eagles Mere Inn, Eagles Mere Museum, and the original Sweet Shop.
Many Eagles Mere businesses are open seasonally, making summer the perfect time to explore the village.
“Whether you’re a local, a weekend wanderer, or a first-time visitor — come see what’s blooming in Eagles Mere,” said Camelia Peguero, Managing Director of the Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce. “Help us welcome the new, celebrate the familiar, and experience the magic of our mountain town.”
