Marton & Davis
Marton & Davis is a home and lifestyle boutique in the heart of Chatham, NY, co-founded by longtime Columbia County residents Melissa Davis and Sherri Marton. Located at 33 Main Street in a historic storefront, the shop offers a thoughtfully curated selection of décor, bath and body products, gifts, and a signature line of Swedish sweets packaged under the Marton & Davis brand. Drawing on their backgrounds in fashion, branding, and real estate, Davis and Marton have created a space that blends timeless style with a sense of discovery, featuring products from renowned designers like John Derian and Bordallo Pinheiro alongside locally made goods, antiques, and exclusive small-batch items.
The shop is deeply rooted in community and history, reflecting the founders’ shared passion for design, storytelling, and the Hudson Valley. Both Davis and Marton previously served on the board of the Columbia County Historical Society, and Davis previously created the Mercantile at the Vanderpoel House, a project that inspired her desire to open a permanent retail space. With Marton’s encouragement, the pair transformed their vision into reality, quickly reimagining the narrow storefront with thoughtful design touches like French doors connecting to neighboring boutique Still Life for future shared events.
More than just a retail destination, Marton & Davis celebrates craftsmanship, local makers, and the joy of in-person shopping. The owners aim to create an inspiring shopping experience where customers can discover beautifully made, often hard-to-find pieces that feel personal and unique.

Old Chatham Country Store
Since 1787, Old Chatham Country Store has stood at the heart of Columbia County’s Old Chatham hamlet, serving as a gathering place for locals and travelers alike. Today, under the ownership of Caroline Jacquiss, this woman-run restaurant and market continues that legacy, celebrating the abundance of the Hudson Valley through farm-to-table dining and locally sourced goods. The café’s daytime menu features fresh salads, housemade soups, and sandwiches—like the much-loved fried chicken on focaccia—while dinner offers a rotating selection of shareable, seasonal plates paired with a thoughtful wine list and house-baked desserts.
Beyond the dining room, the market shelves are filled with regional produce, meats, dairy, and artisan-made home goods—an inviting stop for both everyday shopping and culinary inspiration. True to its community-first mission, the Country Store also hosts events, workshops, and a Chef-in-Residency program, welcoming guest chefs to create limited-run menus that celebrate local ingredients in new ways.
With its blend of historic charm and modern sensibility, Old Chatham Country Store embodies the best of Hudson Valley hospitality—a place where good food, good company, and a deep respect for the land come together under one roof.
