Terrific little shop. We called when we arrived and the owner came out to open very quickly. Nice variety of antiques. Better than the items was the fact that the owner was so knowledgeable and explained the history of each item we were interested in.
Thank you. It was a pleasure talking with you and selling you some items.

Found it. Head towards the Heartland Greenhouses. Nice, small antique shop in the upper part of the garage. Very nice gentleman with a great knowledge of area history.
It was a pleasure meeting you and talking about lanterns, etc.

Couldn't find it
Try Facebook and type in Red Coach Antiques. Click on our name and you'll see our shop full screen. Google maps stops 1/4 mile short of our place because of the dead end road. It is best to call first for info.

Drove an hour and a half, after calling to make sure they were open, and can’t find the place. There’s a house at this location but no signs indicating a business. So maybe there’s a business here…maybe not.
If you had typed Red Coach Antiques in Facebook or on Google, you find picture of our shop with a sign in the window and telephone number. Google had our geographic coordinates wrong but supposedly have corrected it. We have been in and out traveling to Missouri three weekends in a row because of family activities. Once in a while we going on buying trips like Wednesday and Thursday when we went to Hamilton, Missouri. It is best to call before you come.

No sign, no cars, couldn't tell if it was open or not.....
Google maps take you two blocks south of our house. Apple maps will get you to the front door
