A very interesting and eclectic collection available for purchase or viewing/display only. Other than the usual things you may find in an antique mall, there are impressive collections of horror film memorabilia, 80's rock/metal memorabilia, Star Wars toys, and a very nice vinyl selection. I purchased some uranium glassware as a gift. My wife and I spent around an hour + making our way through. If you are into this kind of thing, I highly recommend this store.

What a unique store! Wow! So many cool items here! I bought a few Christmas gifts for my family. It’s a MUST see, a lot of little treasures. The owner Chad was really friendly and nice! We will most definitely be back once we’re back in town. Thank you.

I enjoy shopping at this antique store. There are so many interesting things! Lots of glass of varying types, some furniture, collectibles, toys, You will find something new every pass you make thru the store. The staff person usually there is not overly friendly. He will assist when asked. For example I wanted to see if a lamp worked and he found a bulb and plugged in and tried each spot for a bulb. I ended up not buying and there were no hard feelings. There is not a public restroom. The entrance is located on the back of the building. There is a fairly steep, narrow, bumpy lane to the back of the building where there is paved, level parking for about 4 to 5 cars. You enter and exit by this lane and there is only room for one car.
