Wonderful owners and staff, we had bought a house last may and in the house was an antique white pedal sewing machine made in the late 1800's we wanted it to be appreciated and cared for by someone who would keep it going on, The owners affirmed they would do just that and made us feel comfortable. With that decision. Thank you, The Barrel Antique Mall!

The gentlemen on staff were ever so patient and kind! I wound up with two dream collection pieces and while I’ve never been a bargainer, I was surprised by the generosity I received! Please take a look here, support a very clearly loved local business. Thank you to the staff. I’m just so happy!

This place is such a delight! I've been here a couple of times, and they have so much cool stuff to look at (or buy) you cannot catch everything in one trip! A lot of vendors, and good quality items. A lot of malls I go to have a lot of stuff, but nothing worth the time. The staff is also always very friendly and thank you for coming in.

This antique mall is off the beaten path, right next to the VA and State Trooper hall behind Days Inn. Love their parking, which ensures handicap and mall customers have parking spaces. The mall is well organized and clean, and all the booths, along with cases, are visually appealing. By that, I mean it's not overcrowded and easy access for walking in and out. Big shout out to the warm and welcoming ladies at the front counter, so sweet and nice compared to some places. Don't even greet you. Will stop by again when I'm up in that area as there are plenty of treasures for everyone.
