This store has plenty of genuine and niche antiques each with its own interesting past. I have personally spent hours picking things up and researching/reading about their history online. The family who owns the store is some of the kindest most generous people you could every hope to meet.I have never understood why someone would take the time to type out a glowingly positive review only to then diminish it with a less than 5 star rating.

Love this little place! Try to make a stop each time I come to town. They have a wonderful selection of just about anything you can imagine! Everything from antique jewelry to doors and windows, picture frames to school desks, glassware to hats. Some things are a little overpriced but otherwise its a great little shop!

On-a-Shoestring... not sure where the name comes from... but cool shop.Really like this place as I tend to dig looking around old, antique-y places and such. Some might call that antiquing I just call it liking to look around old, antique-y places and such. This place is no different. Theres literally stuff packed in every corner of the main level, the upstairs, the somewhat basement level as well as outside in the yard. There are plenty of windows, doors, shutters and other woodworks for re-purposing if youre into that. Most are fairly priced by comparison to other places. Overall however, the store can be a bit expensive in its pricing. Also they only take cash or checks as forms of payment so if youre headed over here, be sure to take one or the other.Overall, great shop!

Old house, crowded, and old stuff. It begs the question, can things be too old for an antique store? It seems so.
