Finally made it to the new location of Trailside Treasure in Columbia, right around the corner from the old location! The new space is amazing. So much to see, and great displays. I picked up a few things today, and will be back soon! (Took a few pictures of my favorite room, maybe because of the cats!)

Really nice shop. Very helpful staff. Good quality antiques at a fair price. Definitely worth a trip to Columbia. The Regulator clock and brass rocking house are nice additions to our home.

This place is so fun. First they sell Dixie Belle paint products for furniture painting. But I love wandering around and looking at the treasures. Vintage, antique, and so much more. Last visit I purchased this gorgeous laundry basket. I use it for holding all my throws. Plan to make this a regular place to visit

I wish I had taken a video or more pictures of this place. They truly had the best range of antiques we saw all day (we checked out several stores in the area). From mid-century pieces to very old industrial pieces, they had a great selection of goodies. I ended up with an antique flower press and beautiful piece of artwork but could have left with a LOT more. If you are in need of old/vintage hardware or other small bits and bobs it’s a good place to check out. Was very impressed by the art/frames they had. I didn’t catch the name of the man who helped us but he was such a nice guy! I overheard him saying they will be expanding as it seems this location must be new. Definitely can’t wait to go back.

Nice place doing a lot of work there expanding. Real friendly people and go out of their way to find things for you. Can't wait to go back and see the new showrooms open.

I loved going to the old location, so I was excited to see the new one. It was obvious that they were still settling in, but everything was well displayed and a nice assortment of items. Everyone was friendly, as always. This will continue to one of my "must stop and explore" shops.

Pretty high unrealistic prices unfortunately. I think they have some amazing stuff though. We got a few things. The $32 License plates were kind of high. 🤷‍♂️

Amazing store and wonderful owners! I bought a basket and the owner gave me hemp seed oil and a paint brush free of charge to help keep the basket in good condition. I will def be coming back!

I love visiting Jan's store. It is very unique, well-organized and a pleasure to visit. Jan has a great eye for what people are interested in. Her shop truly carries "something for everyone."

Lovely shop with plenty of antiques that are updated frequently. Highly recommend if you pass by Willimantic. I used to come here often back when I lived here and bought a lovely white dress.

This shop is amazing! They have tons of beautiful pieces at very good prices. My sisters and I had a great time looking through everything. I picked out this bureau and was recommended a gilding wax to make the hardware bright again. She showed me how to use it while I was in store and they even helped me secure everything in my car for the ride home. They went above and beyond to make my bureau dreams come true! Can't wait to go back!

This place is the best for you bargain/antique hunters! Prices are great, inventory is staggering, clean, well displayed - staff/owners could not be more helpful or informative. Really nice people working here. My new favorite shop!!

New antiques, vintage wares shop in the area.They have a little bit of everything. It's the kind of place that you could spend hours and still not see everything.The displays were nicely set up and very eye catching!Prices seemed a bit high on some items, good on others. We spoke with one of the partners and it sounds like they are still trying to find their footing with pricing and what will sell in this area.If you've been around for awhile, you'll enjoy yourself going down through memory lane seeing items that you grew up with.Overall, a fun place to see with such a great variety of items. Happy hunting!

Lovely little secret treasures all over the place! It felt a little bit like a museum but the lady allowed me to bring in my ESA dog and we had a very nice time browsing. 💯 will be going back with more money in my pocket!

I was on my way home from the DMV, when I spotted the sign that said books and antiques. I had to turn around and go inside and browse. Janet, the owner, was warm, wonderful, and so friendly. I had the best conversation with her.The store has a little bit of everything for everybody. All the pieces were in good or great condition. Pricing is more than fair.I picked up a bunch of vintage children's books. This store is definitely going to quickly become one of my favorite go to spots to pick up things to use in my handmade journals.
