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 decor 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. Visit Rutland Fairgrounds

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. Just down the road on the right, stop by The Heritage Deli and enjoy their fantastic sandwiches. Visit Stone House Antiques Center

The Vermont Country Store / Rockingham, Vermont / Beyond Retro

A trip through Vermont isn’t complete without a stop at the iconic Vermont Country Store—one of the state’s most beloved and nostalgic shopping destinations! The primary location in Weston is a treasure trove of practical goods, vintage-inspired finds, and hard-to-find brands from days gone by, while the Rockingham location offers just as much charm. Whether you’re browsing their shelves for classic New England treats, old-fashioned home goods, or the coziest wool socks, there’s something for everyone. And don’t even think about leaving without sampling their legendary Vermont cheeses! Can’t make it in person? They’ve got a popular catalog and an online store, so you can bring a little piece of Vermont home wherever you are. Visit The Vermont Country Store in either Rockingham or Weston.

The Big Red Barn / Westminster, Vermont

This is definitely bargain barn vintage shopping near me. It is filled to the brim with vintage and thrifty collectibles.
