Question: Over the decades that followed, the building served multiple community roles, including a period as Farmington’s post office (pictured above). Which two other uses did it have more recently?

A. Print shop and a cobbler
B. Town archive and a museum
C. Doctor’s office and a pharmacy
D. Local deli and shop, and a five-and-dime

Answer: D) Local deli and shop, and a five-and-dime
Before its most recent chapter, the building was home to Your Village Store, a local deli and shop, and Jiggs, a classic five and dime many longtime residents still remember.

Today, the building has been renamed the Sharp House, a renovated meeting and event space owned by Miss Porter’s School, a modern use layered into centuries of Farmington history.
