Rednersville is named after the Redner family, who settled in Prince Edward County in 1798. In its heart is one of the oldest country store buildings in Ontario, which for more than a century was continuously operated by members of the Redner family, including James Redner, a United Empire Loyalist.

With business interests in shipping and merchandising, the Redner family were a significant entrepreneurial force in Prince Edward County. Their general store was the hub of a thriving pioneer community, which became known as Rednersville, with a population of about 200 inhabitants in the 1870s.

Today, this historic buiding has been restored to its original beauty, and stands as one of the finest examples of rural commercial architecture in the area.

The Rednersville Country Store has come back to life, and is filled with rare antiques and collectibles at affordable prices. Although no longer owned by the Redners, their entrepreneurial spirit inspires our business.

Rednersville Road has a history of being the best part of the locals' favourite weekend drive around the beautiful Bay of Quinte, along the Lake Ontario shore from Carrying Place to the Bay Bridge at Belleville, Ontario.

This is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful country roads to travel. The shoreline boasts many of Prince Edward County's finest waterfront residences. What makes many of the area homes remarkable is the fine landscaping and the abundant natural growth on both sides of Rednersville Road, along which there are great views across the bay.

Naturally, the area is home to many creative and entrepreneurial people. As Rednersville Road follows the shoreline, it is dotted with roadside shops, artists' galleries, and orchards. The hamlet of Rednersville is
right in the middle of all these attractions.

Whatever your reasons for taking a pleasant drive, it's really worth it, just to stop in for a visit at the Rednersville Country Store, and experience the charm
of Rednersville.
