The Douglas Flea Market — Local services in Douglas

Truth is, we never got inside! On Friday night, I checked the website and saw that they are open every weekend, year round. So, bored with all the snow and cold, we took a 45 minute ride, only to find them closed. There was a man there with a work truck and I asked him about it. Apparently, they decided "just an hour ago" to get the snow cleaned off the roof. Really? They didn't think of that at any time during the previous month when we were having bad weather? And since it was almost noon, they should've been open at 9 AM. So...what? They were open and then decided to close?

This is an A+ trip for sure. The people who run it are very helpful and friendly. They also will give you the history of the barn! There is a snack counter inside too. Plenty of free parking and easy to get to...
