The Best Antique, Thrift, and Second-Hand Shops from Vermont to Maine

A working list of the best New England second-hand, vintage, thrifty, and antique shops from Vermont, NH, Maine, and New York state too!

A collection from my monthly travels from Vermont to Maine and beyond!

I hope you enjoy every single one!

And be sure to check out my favorite blog series, “Thrifting with the Gals,” too!

VERMONT SECOND-HAND SHOPS

Vermont Vintage Market Days / Rutland, Vermont

I love attending the Vermont Vintage Market Days twice a year in April and October. It’s filled with 60+ vintage and antique vendors from all over New England. I never miss it!! There’s a small entrance fee, but well worth it! The parking is convenient, and the crowds are manageable.

The Vintage Soul / Manchester, Vermont

This second-hand shop is relatively new to the area and packs quite a punch! You’ll find an assortment of vintage and thrifty finds and some newer items! An old-fashioned candy counter and Vermont delectables fill an entire row. Grab a Vermont hat and t-shirt as a souvenir.

You will now find me, Dabbling & Decorating, displaying, and reselling in the window here too!

Stone House Antique Center / Chester, Vermont

This is a large one-floor antique center with 100+ different vendors. Prices are reasonable, and it’s definitely worth a stop if you are in this area. Stop by The Heritage Deli and enjoy their fantastic sandwiches just down the road on the right.

The Vermont Country Store / Rockingham, Vermont

The Vermont Country store is just a few miles from the Stone House Antique Center on the right. And is also worth the stop for all things practical and hard to find from days gone by. Vermont Country Store also has an online store. And you will not want to miss out on all their cheese samplings!

The Cottage by the Brook / Westminster, Vermont

I never miss this second-hand shop! It is very whimsical with both its indoor and outdoor shopping. Many creative finds for your gardens, homes, backyards, and more. Prices are reasonable with a mix of all things vintage and new. Always a favorite stop!

Covered Bridge Antiques / Bennington, Vermont

This is the cutest vintage shop in the Bennington area in my opinion. Filled with quality antiques, unique gifts, and a fun, eclectic shopping experience. Take a trip through the Covered Bridge, and discover a world of treasures…

SOUTHERN COASTAL MAINE SECOND-HAND SHOPS

I have mapped out the below second-hand shops for you as if I were going for a day of antiquing myself, starting first in Kittery, Maine, moving north.

Southern coastal Maine is extremely busy with tourism over the summer months. I highly recommend shopping these favorites from September to May to avoid the out-of-state crowds and increased prices.

I’ve included each second-hand shop’s website or Facebook page for your convenience.

The Fabulous Find / Kittery, Maine

The Fabulous Find offers the highest quality goods at THE best prices. Don’t miss it if you ever find yourself in this area! It’s my go-to place whenever I am in town.

The York Antiques Gallery / York, Maine

There is so much to see in this amazing four-story barn filled with antique vendors from all over. The prices are reasonable, and if you can’t find what you are looking for here, mosey up the road and enjoy all the shops on Route 1, coined “Antique Alley” that I’ve listed below.

The Shops At Cape Neddick / Cape Neddick, Maine

I adore this little shop, which combines vintage vendors, painting and DIY, clothing, and coastal collectibles. It’s definitely worth a stop by!

Bo-Mar Hall Antiques & Collectibles / Wells, Maine

Next stop heading north on Route 1, you’ll find this cute antique mall on the left-hand side a couple of miles up from Ogunquit in Wells, Maine. This large antique and collectible center has plenty of parking and is reasonably priced. When the weather is nice, they will also have a mini flea market outside!

Breakaway Designs and Antiques / Wells, Maine

This is one of my favorite second-hand shops to go to when I’m looking for unique ideas. The owner has such a creative style, and the shop is adorable. She isn’t always open so be sure to call ahead! There’s a handful of other shops in this center you can visit while here too.

Safe Haven Human Society Thrift Shop / Wells, Maine

This is so much more than a thrift shop. This is a new store in a very large building. I expect big things from this shop as they grow. It’s filled with antiques, vintage finds, a large children’s section, clothing, and more. Safe Haven is a consignment and thrift store, and all proceeds benefit our furry friends.

The Americana Workshop / Kennebunk, Maine

Another couple miles up the road you will find this gem on the left and the last of my favorites here in southern coastal Maine. The Americana has two floors filled with antiques and vintage furniture. The second floor offers up coastal cottage decor; these folks are super nice and helpful!

Habitat for Humanity York County / Kennebunk, Maine

This is the largest Habitat for Humanity I have ever been to. It’s a large warehouse filled with all kinds of furniture, old and new. Many volunteers and workers are also on duty to help you move items into your car. A must if you are in this area. Be sure to check out their hours before visiting!

While visiting Kennebunk, you may also want to stop at the well-known Snug Harbor Farm; see more in the post, Go Green – A Visit to Snug Harbor Farm, Maine.

Cabot Mill Antiques / Brunswick, Maine

I discovered this amazing antique center this summer while visiting a friend in Down East Maine. Located in an old brick mill just down the road from Bowdoin College. The antique selections are top-notch with a wide variety of prices. Cabot Mill Antiques is not to be missed! See more in the post, Antiquing Down East, A Day’s Jaunt and Vintage Shopping, A Church Collection Basket, and Wild Oats.

Chandler & Co. / Berwick, Maine

Chandler & Co. is a monthly barn sale that is absolutely fabulous, located in Berwick, Maine. Be sure to follow them on their Facebook page for all the scheduled openings and details. It’s not to be missed! You may enjoy the Irresistible New England Antique Barn Sale | Budget Friendly post.

NEW HAMPSHIRE SECOND-HAND SHOPS

Nest Portsmouth / Portsmouth, NH

I love this adorable shop owned by a friend of a friend in Portsmouth, NH, a short 7-mile jaunt from the Maine border, and I know you will too! It’s so whimsical and filled with beautiful collectibles and refurbished pieces for your home. Just look at that outside setup! She also posts all her new items on her Facebook page with such personality and character!

Sage Farm Antiques / North Hampton, NH

One weekend a month, Sage Farm Antiques has an amazing pop-up vintage market. They all have a theme to them, from “May you Bloom and Grow” to “Sunwashed and Sandy.” Be sure to plan ahead, as this shop is not to be missed!

See more of Sage Farm Antiques Early Evening Buy Event to learn and see more.

Just The Thing / Dover, NH

This is a multi-dealership, two-story antique shop in downtown Dover, New Hampshire. This antique shop is filled with unique finds, both antique, vintage, and reproduction items. Parking can be tricky, but once you have parked, you can shop and stroll the many shops in downtown Dover.

This was the best girl’s day out; see more in the post, Antiquing, 6 Thrifty Finds, and a Lobster Biscuit.

NEW YORK SECOND-HAND SHOPS

Eagle Bridge Antique Center / Eagle Bridge, NY

This antique center, located about 40 minutes from our home in Vermont, is room after room filled to the brim with almost any vintage or thrifty find you can imagine. You can spend hours here, grab lunch across the street at a local family establishment, and return for hours more of thrifting. This is a not-to-be-missed place and so worth the visit. Just be sure to call ahead to confirm that this favorite antique and thrift shop is open on the day you want to visit.

I’m so glad you dropped by today, friend, and if you are new to my blog, welcome!

I hope you enjoyed your visit with us here today to my favorite antique, vintage, second-hand, and thrift shops on my jaunts from our homes in Vermont to Maine.
