Are you feeling the itch to escape town for a weekend? If you enjoy browsing vintage shops, breathing in the cool mountain air, and enjoying the atmosphere of a tiny town, then we know of just the place for you to head to this weekend!
Head out to Pine, Arizona! This tiny town sits among the pine trees right at the base of the Mogollon Rim and is a popular spot for outdoor activities. However, it is also a well-known spot to stop for...
...antiquing! For a town with a population of just over 2,300, it has a surprising number of antique and vintage shops that offer a wide variety of items for sale. Let’s take a look at some of the shops you can find here:
This first shop requires you to drive a little ways off the highway and right into the heart of Pine. The shop features a wide range of items, including some beautiful antiques, vintage home items, toys you haven’t seen in decades, and even a special "man cave" section for the men to browse.
