Room history
A landmark eatery from the late 1800’s, this ice cream shop in the village center once served baked goods, home-made candies, fountain drawn sodas and much more. Starting in 1938, it had award-winning chocolate covered marshmallows when town personality Bert Fiester was in charge. The Sweet Shop has been a central gathering place in the village forever and a highlight of summering families. Often the employees were a mixture of full-time residents and the children of summer vacationers. All it cost was 5 cents for an ice cream sundae back then! In 2004, the Sweet Shop sold to the nonprofit Eagles Mere Historic Village Inc. (a 501C3 preservation foundation) as part of a plan to restore the entire town center. In 2021, the entire building, which remains essentially unchanged since its earliest years, underwent a sensitive full restoration so that a full daily menu can be served and many future generations can continue to enjoy its unique character and history.
