I felt like I was walking through a museum while visiting this antique shop. Easily the best shop I've ever been to. The antiques were gorgeous and filled with history, and the grounds/building they are housed in is just as lovely. Owner is a super nice guy filled with knowledge and passion about antiquing. This is a must stop!

This place was amazing. Absolutely wonder items. Seeing each piece and speaking with the gentleman than runs the place, you can see he is very passionate. He has such a genius way of presenting things as well. If you go make sure you see the back building, it's like stepping into another world.
