Antiquing

|
Because of the rich history of the State of Vermont and
its important role during the Revolutionary period of
our country, there remains many interesting artifacts
preserved at historical sites and museums. In addition,
certain household items such as furniture, knick-knacks,
and memorabilia, handed down among families or saved by
individuals interested in their historical value or significance,
can be found in the many antique shops throughout the
region. Some are housed in conventional village shops,
others can be found in the countryside in refurbished
barns or farmhouses. Whatever the venue, antique treasures
abound in the crossroads of Vermont.
There
are no less than 40 antique and collectibles shops in
towns and villages throughout the region. Many are specialty
shops, dealing in collectible music boxes, dolls, china,
silver, books, and antique jewelry. Others are generalists,
offering a cornucopia of items from period, Victorian,
and antique furniture to folk art, paintings, glassware,
and much more. A rich assortment of primitive goods is
available, early furniture from 18th and 19th century,
as well as a wide range of collectibles to suit any fancy.
Hours of relaxation
are at hand while wandering the crossroads of Vermont
searching for the interesting and priceless antiques and
collectibles of a bygone Vermont era.
Antique and household
auctions are commonplace throughout the summer months,
many of which are held on premises at interesting rural
country homes and estates. Local town papers announce
auctions in advance with directions to events and lists
of sample items that will cross the auction block.
