When you are on the hunt for terrific treasures in southeastern Idaho, there is one place to go — Country Store Boutique. This large and impressive antique store is where you can find furniture, jewelry, collectibles, décor, and so much more. But, this historic market in Idaho is more than just a place where you can find unique items; it is also home to two historic buildings.
Welcome to the Country Store Boutique! Located on Ririe Highway outside of Idaho Falls, this antique store is certainly a sight to see.
Country Store Boutique first began in the old Crowley School. This schoolhouse was built in 1899 and was a typical one-room schoolhouse. It was renovated in 1972 to become the antique store we love today.

However, in 1977, the old schoolhouse became too small for this antique store, and more space was needed.
That’s when the store's owners purchased a barn from a local man named Mr. Price to greatly expand the store's square footage. The Price Barn was previously located approximately 0.5 miles north of the Country Store Boutique before it was moved intact and placed in its current location.

Additional expansions and renovations have occurred including the addition of a two-story building on the north side of the barn, a small shop on the east side of the barn, and more.
Country Store Boutique restores this furniture, so it is typically move-in-ready to create a conversation piece no matter where you place it in your home or office.
Many of the items in this store have quite a history and will take you back in time …
And since the inventory is constantly changing, it’ll be like visiting a brand new store each and every time you walk through the front doors. This is one store you’ll want to explore over and over again.
