Correct me if I’m wrong, but… when we posted our article a few weeks ago about The Tiny Town In Colorado That’s Absolute Heaven If You Love Antiquing, we couldn’t help but notice the dramatic spike in likes and comments, leading us to believe that Coloradans love a good deal! If you are ready to take your antiquing/treasure hunting experience to the next level, make plans to take this weekend road trip that is just perfect for exploring Colorado’s best antique shops. (The link to the interactive map can be found here.)
Located in Wheat Ridge, the Brass Armadillo Antique Mall is one of the largest antique shops in not only the city, but the entire state, hosting 600 different vendors! (Seriously; is there a better way to begin this trip? We didn't think so either!)
One of my personal favorite places to antique is at Castle Rock's Stunning The Barn, thanks to its numerous areas that strive to "cater to every personality," like a Book Nook, Vintage Glam room, and pictured Whitewash collection.
When taking an antique road trip, there is no better place to stay than a historic castle, which is where the iconic Glen Eyrie comes into play. Built in the late 1800s by Colorado Springs founder William Jackson Palmer, Glen Eyrie is an English Tudor-style castle that boasts a whopping 17 guest rooms, 2 dining rooms, and 24 fireplaces.
Surprised to see Montrose on another one of our lists? With its unique Antique Trail ("Montrose is home to a selection of diverse antique shops featuring an impressive collection of furniture, jewelry, clothing, fine collectibles, and heirlooms," states Visit Montrose's website), it shouldn't come as a surprise at all!
Our weekend of antiquing is coming to a close... but not before a delicious steak dinner at one of Colorado's oldest restaurants! Originally from the small mining town of Kokomo, the building that houses the 1862 Mint was moved to its current location in 1914 and serves some of the best steaks and seafood in the state.
