Lordy, this old depot is a wonderful sight to see and shop in the antique mall. I can't even begin to list all the items you might find, but believe me, for an antique treasure hunter, you can't miss this mall, or you will be sorry you did seriously. The staff was warm and welcoming, explaining all the discounts vendors are having right now. There are two floors, yes, two floors of incredible bargains and prices are so darn reasonable too.We walked away with quite a few treasures from Wabash Antique Mall. Extremely recommended by me, as it's a place to visit every month or every other month. I bought a couple of antique Christmas cake pans in mint condition. My brother bought a WWII compass in great condition along with a transistor radios in the original box in fabulous condition. It was busy, and again, we found them in Buzz magazine. That's why I visited Decatur today to check out all their antique stores. Do yourself a favor, go treasure hunting in here, and you won't regret it. I highly recommend a trip to Decatur to do some antique shopping at Wabash to ensure you don't miss out on bargains.

This is a really cool place. Situated in an old train depot. They had a lot of vendors. Its also 2 floors. My son loved it since he's a train fanatic. We would definitely go back if we were in the area. I found some cool military collectables, and diecasts. The atmosphere was worth the trip by itself.

This place is so unique as it was a train depot during the Civil War, and now it's almost like a museum with its antique collection of merchandise reasonably price, and the staff are very knowledgeable and very helpful. You must stop by and see for yourself. I have visited this place several times whenever we come up here on vacation. It always brings back memories of the good old days.

Nice antique center in an incredibly cool vintage railroad station with an amazing building and origial covered area to the left side that looks right out of a scene 100 years ago and there is plenty to browse and see inside with nice, helpful staff ready to help you shop and see items that interest you. Plenty of parking and conveniently located just a short distance off the main streets. Worth a visit for the collector and railroad enthusiast.

Lots of true antiques but wimpy selection of vintage soda advertising. Whatever dealer framed a $10 Coca Cola apron and a $5 Coca Cola referee card should be ashamed asking $124.99 for it.

I used to come here with my Aunt Diane. My husband and I decided to check it out last weekend and it reminded me of her. He was like a big kid when it came to the train sets and mini cranes lol

Great place to lose yourself for a few hours. A lot of different items will spark your memories. Very clean and calm. You will find yourself relaxed with your blood pumping from all of the good deals. Staff are very helpful and kind. It is a great place to shop with your significant other or just on your own. The only way to make this a better experience is to have old trains about the property.

We came in to look around and the skinny blonde lady, who I think was supposed to be the owner was outrageously rude, and completely unprofessional. And her other employee, very elderly, was disciplining another employee, infront of customers. Which is beyond wrong. There is an office for a reason use it .Not to mention this elderly character would question others customers purchases with a very nasty attitude. Saying things like "you don't want to do that". The entire time we were in there both employees had a very angry looks on there face. Over all very disappointing experience.

A treasure find in Decatur for antique people! Pictures do not do justice to the ambience you'll find in this place. The staff do an amazing job of being helpful, attentive and make timely suggestions on whatever you are looking for.Being a former train depot some moments you are in transported in time with the rail lines that pass close by and feel connected to history.Stop by this location on your travels through this town. Something for everyone.

If you like vintage? This is the spot! They have everything from old coins to old press steel. Or maybe you like jewelery, Books, old cameras, Basketball cards, even A tracks. Today was my first day in there and I didn't want to leave so much to see. I collect old Nylint press steel, Tootsie Toy and they had them in all conditions. I will be returning when I come back this way!

Hardly any good finds, and the prices were outrageous. The worker seemed disinterested and quite rude, brushed me off / talked down to me and the girl i was with when I asked questions about the items for sale.

Beautifully restored historic depot that served as a hub of rail transportation. Now home to antiques and collectibles displayed in over 10,000 square feet. The Wabash Depot is more than your average, everyday antique mall. Expansive sales floor holds 70 booths from 40 plus vendors, meaning that you’ll have plenty of quality items to peruse. Outstanding shopping experience, holding a wide variety of special events including holiday celebrations throughout the first weekends in June and November.

Great use of a gorgeous building. Mall has more knicknacs than furniture. Store is supervised by Bandit the wonder cat. A very elegant lady.

One of the most attractive antique malls I have been in. The building itself has history and is very well kept up. The exhibits are visually appealing and there are literally thousands of items from high end hard to find items to more common collectibles. This site will take you a couple of hours to look at everything, so get here early. Most items are reasonably priced and many booths have 20-50 percent off deals. The staff here is friendly helpful and informative. A must visit.

It's always a pleasure to visit. Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. They had a band there and offered punch and an assortment of cookies and snacks while browsing today which I wasn't expecting and it was very pleasant. Quite a variety of Antiques to look at, and the train that passes by is also really cool to look at.Love stopping by here.

They fact that it was a train station was cool. I felt items where overpriced. 40 for a basket I don't think so.

Four of us were there June 6, 2021. We've done a lot of antiquing, and we all agree this place is one the best if not the best place to shop. Air conditioned, clean, fair prices, the charming owner was there greeting people, and all the staff was outgoing and helpful. My girlfriend found an expensive piece of pottery. One (or more than one?) found the same piece for a much cheaper price. When has someone done that for you?

Even if you don't buy anything, the Wabash Depot is worth a visit. All sorts of neat and interesting stuff. The women behind the counter are welcoming and nice. The stock regularly changes, and the old depot has beenrepurposed into a two-floor antique and vintage store with an amazing variety of items.

I enjoyed my shopping visit at this facility. So many rooms to be discovered. Checking out I felt as if I had traveled back in time. Each item had a different lot number and this required the clerk to have to hand write it each persons purchase. If I had been in a hurry or behind several customers I would have to consider if the item was worth the wait to check out.

Nice antique mall. Interesting historical building. Good selection. The area is peppered with 4 other antique venues so it's worth checking out.

This antique store is in an old train station from the early 1900s. It is worth going just for that aspect. It is very well-maintained and cool to walk around in. On top of that, it is a very large antique mall with lots of nice stuff. We found quite a bit of what we were looking for there. There are also a couple of other stores almost next door too.

Wabash Depot has a large selection of antiques and the ladies at the desk downstairs are friendly and welcoming. That being said I did not have a good experience the last time I went. I found an item downstairs that I was going to purchase, but it was a little awkward to carry around so I decided to look around upstairs and then come back down for it. While I was upstairs a worker said hello and to let him know if I needed help. I thanked him and continued looking around. He proceeded to follow my partner and I, watching us. At one point my partner picked up a small pamphlet to buy, but then decided against it and put it back. The next time the man walked buy us he stopped us and accused us of stealing it. We walked back half way to the booth, showed him which booth and the pamphlet and walked away. Needless to say we left and I was upset enough that I did not end up buying the item I wanted to go back downstairs for. I may go back to buy what I wanted downstairs, but after that I will not be back.
