Things aren’t always what they seem. Take, for example, The Gathering Place Antique Shop. At first glance, it appears to be an ordinary red barn. However, upon closer inspection, you’ll quickly realize it’s anything but – and that’s because it’s stuffed to the brim with an array of antiques and collectibles. Take a look:
Please note, The Gathering Place Antique Shop is open June through November each year.
This is The Gathering Place Antique Shop. It's located in scenic Lake Country and a drive out to the shop is nearly as enjoyable as the shop itself.
Inside the shop, you’ll find a large and diversified inventory of antiques and collectibles, which is fitting since the barn that houses the merchandise is an antique as well. It dates back to the 1900s.
Great care has been put into the barn’s restoration, and its unique architecture is sure to impress. Of course, you’ll probably be too distracted by all the great merchandise to notice.
Looking for a specific item? No problem; simply call the store, and they’ll let you know if they have the item you’re searching for. (Of course, you’ll probably want to visit since the hunt is half the fun.)
The Gathering Place Antique Shop is open June through November, Wednesday – Saturday 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. For more information, call (262) 567-5123. You can also visit The Gathering Place Antique Shop website.
Address: W359 N5930 Brown Street, Oconomowoc, WI, 53066
