Olde Engine Works Market Place — Attraction in Stroudsburg

If you’ve ever dreamed of uncovering the perfect vintage treasure, you’re in the right place! Antique stores are big treasure chests. When one shops at them for home decor items, you are truly choosing a special way of creating a home that is all your own.

Housed in a restored historic building prior to its present use, the Olde Engine Works began operating as a machine shop that built huge, steam-powered hoists (winches) used mainly for lumbering and quarrying in 1903, located on 3rd Street in Stroudsburg. Since 1993, it’s been an indoor antique establishment of nearly 22,000 sq ft with 100 vendors offering the finest selection of collectibles, furniture, and treasures in all of the Poconos, where my partner, his sister, and I came today.

Upon entering this spacious, well-maintained, and carefully organized interior as first-timers, it was like stepping into a time machine powered by vintage lamps, antique knick-knacks, and furniture. Some booths were a little tight to walk through, but not bad. There is so much stuff to see one could literally spend several hours in there. We left satisfied with a china cabinet and solid round table. Prices were very reasonable. The staff was friendly and helpful.

A sales lady—not the cashier—asked my child if they “got” the drink there, gesturing toward the fridge like it was a sacred relic. I said yes, we paid, and the cashier backed me up. But instead of a friendly “Oops, just checking!” or “Thanks for shopping!”—crickets.

It wasn’t a huge deal, but it did leave me feeling a bit weird, like I’d been accused of smuggling fruit punch. Still, the place is full of cool finds and worth a visit—but heads up, not every interaction may be as charming as the...

It is located in a old factory and is all on the ground floor in Old historic although somewhat vintage building. There is a wide range of items available here from furniture down to Vintage plastic and wooden toys from the early 1900's. There is a somewhat wide-ranging art and music selection of items as well and quite a lot of glassware available. The place is arranged into individual areas for the consignment sellers and has a main desk where you pay as you leave. People are quite friendly and you can easily spend a couple of hours here. It is a bit a bit out of the way although located close to Main Street. Using your phone's guidance is very helpful. You initially see the signs for the business but have to follow around to the back where the parking structure area is located. Overall it is well worth visiting and Bargains...
