I've been to Grist Mill Antiques Center many times, and highly encourage checking it out at least once. There are a few things to keep in mind, though.
The antiques center is large, two stories and much bigger on the inside than you would assume. It is mosty organized into rooms by vendor or type, and most vendors carry items of a similar type. So, there are some sections which are entirely glassware or ceramics or the like. There are sections that are entirely a single thing, and not seperated by vendor. Clothing can be found in a corner up the stairs and to the right, as well as on a few mannequins throughout the Center. Furniture is mostly up the stairs and all the way to the back. Jewelry is mostly in cases on the first floor, but there is some in drawers on the second floor. It is initally very overwhelming in Grist Mill, but once you know how to navigate it, it's not so bad.

A few words of advice. Give yourself a couple of hours or so to really look through the two packed floors especially if you're looking for smaller finds like lighters, jewelry,etc....
Read moreI'm 100% with the first reviewer. I can't believe more people aren't raving about this place! It's such a fun little store! It's filled floor to ceiling with everything you can imagine. No one should enter this place without finding at least one item that either intrigues them or that they want to take home. You may have to dig a little to find what you want, but it's well worth the search and there are some great finds to be had here. And just a quick mention for anyone wanting to complete their pattern: the upstairs is packed with row upon row of fine china. This place has everything from primitives up to mid-century, kitchenware, glassware, oddities, toys, etc. Go...
