Pennsylvania Recommendations
If you're a vintage-lover, you MUST go to Pennsylvania. The sheer number of antique malls and the sheer amount of STUFF is unmatched. I've never returned home from a PA roadtrip with an empty trunk. Below are my PA recommendations (and this list will be updated, since I've only hit a small portion of the state!):
​
Carlisle, PA
Northgate Antiques
726 N Hanover St,
Carlisle, PA 17013
- Can't say enough good things about this place. My new favorite. 10/10! Almost wanted to gate-keep this one!
- Huge, all smalls, cheap prices. I filled 3 baskets full of the things *we* love - vintage Christmas decor, craft supplies, millinery flowers, novelty, china, tins, etc.
- See video tour here
​
Bedford Street Antiques
44 N Bedford St,
Carlisle, PA 17013
http://www.bedfordstreetantiques.com/index.html
- Who knew there was so much good stuff in Carlisle? Close to Northgate, so it's a must go!
- Mixed prices, mostly smalls. I found vintage Christmas, millinery, Bristol glass, and some tins for great prices.

The Carlisle Antique Mall
164 N Hanover St,
Carlisle, PA 17013

Lemoyne, PA
Antique marketplace of Lemoyne (@antiquemarketplacelemoyne)
415 Bosler Ave,
Lemoyne, PA 17043
https://www.theantiquemarketplaceoflemoyne.com/
- This was the first time I've ever gotten lost in an antique mall.... HUGE.
- Mixed prices, but mostly smalls and there are tons of deals to be had. Walked out with boxes full of vintage millinery hats, china, craft supplies, and even some holiday decor. They also have a Pyrex booth for those who love that kind of thing. Tons to look at.
- There's a basement full of crap that seems to be run by a different group. Not great. Stay upstairs
- They have delicious candy and Dutch bakery treats near checkout! Important!
​
Hershey, PA
Olde Factory Antiques and Crafts
139 S Hanover St,
Hummelstown, PA 17036
https://www.facebook.com/oldefactoryantiques.crafts/
- This is one of those places I keep coming back to (and wouldn't dare miss), even though it's full of crap. Yard sale junk, reproductions... but a ton of true vintage, too. You need to have stamina for this place - three floors in an old factory building.
- *EXTREMELY* HOT IN THE SUMMER. BRING WATER OR WAIT UNTIL THE COOLER MONTHS TO GO.
- See video tour here and here
​
Crossroads Antique Mall
825 Cocoa Ave,
Hershey, PA 17033
https://www.crossroadsantiques.com/
- Another large one that's all smalls. Sometimes I do super well, sometimes just okay. I feel like there's less turnover here? But a must-go if you're hunting through Hershey. Very nice staff!
- Prices are mixed, but deals to be had. I've found stuff for resale and personal collecting here.
- Close to Hershey Hotel and gardens (great historic hotel for lunch and exploring!)
- See video tour here.
​
Black Swan Antiques
61 W Front St,
Palmyra, PA 17078
https://www.facebook.com/BlackSwanAntiquities/
- Another one I keep coming back to. Mostly smalls and true vintage! Large space and super friendly staff.
- Mixed prices but I always leave with 2 carts full of stuff. You just have to be willing to search.
- Parking is in back of the building - don't get confused when you pull up to what looks like a construction site/quarry!
​
Schoolhouse Antiques (@schoolhouseantiques3)
103 N College St,
Palmyra, PA 17078
https://schoolhouseantique.com/
- A super cute old school house turned into antique mall + cafe! Beautiful old building.
- 2 floors and mostly smalls. Prices are mixed.
- Definitely has a fair amount of reproduction and some crap in the basement. But I always find at least something! Right near the other Hershey places, so worth going!
​
Columbia, PA
Columbia is near Adamstown, so you'll want to plan to do both towns during the same trip!
Tollbooth Antiques (@tollboothwarehouse)
215 Chestnut St,
Columbia, PA 17512
- 40,000 sqft. WILD PLACE. Bigs and smalls. Mixed prices but overall pretty decent!! I found a boatload of stuff.
- Vintage china, MCM, artwork, books, craft supplies, furniture, statement pieces... so fun!
- See video tour here and here.
​
Burning Bridge Antiques (@burningbridgeantiques)
304 Walnut St,
Columbia, PA 17512
https://burningbridgeantiques.com/
- Another huge antique mall! 3 floors of fun stuff. Mix of bigs and smalls.
- Don't let the cases on the first floor scare you (looks like a museum), tons of deal stories be had.
- Building used to be an old hardware store... super fun tin ceiling tiles (NFS)!
- See video tour here and here.
​
Bootleg Antiques
135 Bridge St,
Columbia, PA 17512
- REVIEW COMING SOON!
Adamstown and Denver, PA
Adamstown has long been considered the "antique capital of the country." It's a good day/weekend trip, especially if you include Columbia, PA spots. .
​
Mad Hatter Antique Mall
61 Willow St,
Adamstown, PA 19501
https://www.facebook.com/MadHatterAntiqueMall/
- Loved this place!!! 100+ dealers, 15,000 sqft. Good prices (especially on the stuff *we* like). Mostly smalls.
- I found a ton of vintage holiday decor and crafts here. Glassware too.
​
Renninger’s Antique Market (@renningersadamstown)
2500 N Reading Rd,
Denver, PA 17517
https://renningers.net/adamstown/
- Super.... interesting. Always been an odd place - many stalls are closed, lots of little businesses (frame repair, lighting wiring, etc), and quite a bit of (pricey) Christmas.
It’s indoor and very HOT during the summer. I wouldn’t plan a day trip around it, but I think all antique malls are worth a stop if you’re in the area… never know what you’ll find.
- Renninger's has multiple locations - don't get confused!
- See video tour here.

​
Gettysburg, PA
Antique Center of Gettysburg
30 Baltimore St,
Gettysburg, PA 17325
http://www.antiquecenter-getty.com/
- A smaller shop located in downtown Gettysburg. Primarily war memorabilia and collector items.
- Worth stopping in if you are in the area for lunch or hitting some other antique malls... but this one isn't a destination if you are looking for the kind of stuff *I* collect.
​
Rebel's Roost Antiques
1863 Gettysburg Village Dr, Suite 330,
Gettysburg, PA 17325
https://www.facebook.com/rebels.roost/
**Note that they've changed locations and are now located at the Outlet Shoppes at Gettysburg! Used to be in an old fun barn.
- Had lots of vendors and was primarily all smalls! I haven't been to their new location so I can't vouch for it. But I found glassware, tines, and craft supplies at their old spot!
- Mixed prices
​
Zelma's Emporium (@zelmasemporium)
11 N Water St,
New Oxford, PA 17350
- This place was pricy and had finer antiques. Antique furniture and some smalls. If you're in the area, worth stopping in.
- I ended up randomly finding well-priced Christmas here.
​
Lewisburg, PA
Rollermills Marketplace (@rollermillsantiquemall)
517 Saint Mary Street
Lewisburg, PA 17837
- LOVE THIS PLACE. It is absolutely huge. 400 dealers, 3 floors, 60,000 sqft.
- Mix of bigs and smalls, but mostly smalls.
- Mix of prices, but there is just so much stuff that you're bound to find good deals. I always leave with armfuls.
- Located in a restored flour mill from the 1880s. Fun place that seems endless
- Checking out takes a notoriously long time. Be prepared
- See video tour here and here.
​
Silver Moon Antiques (and barn)
150 Silvermoon Ln,
Lewisburg, PA 17837
https://lewisburgantiques.com/
- There are two locations (both called Silver Moon) near each other - one is an antique mall and the other is a "barn" of crap. If you're visiting the antique mall, you might as well walk through the barn. But it's mostly consignment yard sale junk.
- The mall: mostly smalls and the prices are great! Found a ton of vintage craft supplies. There is A LOT of crap. You need to have a discerning eye to spot the good stuff... but there is good stuff. China, glassware, textiles, holiday, etc.
- See video tour here.
​
Lewisburg Antique Mall
105 AJK Blvd,
Lewisburg, PA 17837
https://lewisburgantiques.com/
- Down the street from Silver Moon, so make sure you go to both.
- Mixed prices, mostly smalls. Found some vintage millinery hats, Christmas, glassware, and textiles.
- See video tour here.
