Neat place to visit if you like to overpay and sweat in the summer .....
There is no a.c in this place and it is absolutely sweltering in the summer. There is an upstairs to this place that needs to have a few windows opened to get some air flow running through. If you know about antiques and the going rate then you may find (as we did) that most of the vendors here are pretty high. There are 3 other places in the area that also have spaces with different vendors and are much more reasonable on prices. They also follow you around the place (at the Barn) treating everyone as they are shoplifters and I felt a bit uncomfortable. If you're looking for a large place with antiques in the area I suggest The Mill or The Antique Mall. Prices are better and you don't have workers breathing down your neck while you look at things. The best place in the area for prices and pleasant workers is most definitely The Sanborn General Store!!! Gordy Harpers is also a great place to find antiques at reasonable prices. They also have a nice little resturant attached. The Shawnee Barn by far is the most over priced, hot, stuffy and most uncomfortable antique shop in the area ..... Try the others and you'll definately see...
Read moreI recently visited an Antique Co-Op housed in a group of barns, and it was a pleasant experience overall. The setting was charming, with the rustic atmosphere of the barns adding to the appeal of browsing through the various stalls. There was a wide variety of items on display, from vintage furniture to smaller collectibles, and while not everything was a hidden gem, there were definitely some unique finds worth checking out.
The prices varied, with some items feeling like a bargain, while others were a bit on the high side, but that’s to be expected in a co-op setting. The staff was friendly and willing to help when asked, though they mostly let you explore at your own pace, which I appreciated. The layout of the barns could be a little easier to navigate, but it added to the treasure-hunt vibe of the place. Overall, it was an enjoyable visit, and I left with a couple of interesting pieces. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys exploring...
Read moreThis Antique Coop and giant treasure chest is a must for collectors, set decorators, antique hunters and nostalgics. It's two floors are literally filled with everything from furniture, toys, dishes, knick knacks, jewelry, collectables and pretty much anything you can imagine from days gone by. Not a lot of help on the sales floor, you are on your own to treasure hunt. It's a great way to spend a few hours to consider American History or too find that perfect gift or item for that empty shelve or corner in your home. (While you are there check out Patricia's back barn behind the...
