The Peterboro Mercantile is a community heritage gift shop, located within the Visitors Center on the Gerrit Smith Estate, National Historic Landmark, in Peterboro NY. The Mercantile is staffed and operated under the management of the Smithfield Community Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of historic Peterboro.

The Peterboro Mercantile was established to provide visitors to the Gerrit Smith Estate access to educational materials to continue their learning about Gerrit Smith, abolition, and 19th century life in central NY, and also to provide souvenirs to help them remember their visit. The profits from all sales are used to support the operation of the Gerrit Smith Estate and other community heritage projects within the town of Smithfield, including the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum.
