In 1996 the village had a few stores, an inn with a restaurant, and attracted tourists and hunters. The Eagles Mere Railroad (1892-1928), a narrow-gauge line providing rail access to the resort town of Eagles Mere, had its southern terminus in Sonestown. The village gives its name to Sonestown Covered Bridge, which is 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the village on Route 220.
