Castleton had a dollar tree (which is now closed, dollar general has the market now) and a historic Cobblers shop in the historic district of town. The historic district has many 1800s era buildings (I did a study on the Buell Block building which was the old jail) lining main street. The old highway brought you through town before 4 was built, not sure how long ago you are talking. I believe Castleton meets most of your marks, and I know it pretty well if you have any questions as I lived there for 18 years.

Also there is a decent amish population nearby (I have friends that know some personally) and I have seen a few buggy’s ahaha. Poultney also meets a lot of your marks but it is too far south, definitely time capsule there. Poultney and Castleton have similar looks in my opinion though, so I assume there is many similar towns in Vermont.
