AMAZING ANTIQUE TOWN | VALUABLE VINTAGE SHOPPING FOR RESALE

1820s ANTIQUE DESTINATION IN UTOPIA TOWN TOUR

New Harmony, Indiana is more than just a perfect place for antique and vintage shopping and reselling! This town is one of few surviving frontier utopias, where social reformers and intellectuals gathered to test new ideas in how to grow the country in 1820s America.

We take time to take in some of this handsome early village between our antique and yard sale shopping stops in this video! Beautiful homes, an opera house and the Italianate 19th century downtown contrast with simple log cabins and brick courtyards. Reformer Robert Owen’s radical ideas shaped this once important place, the first in the nation to have a free public library and education for both men and women. Lofty minded inhabitants included the founders of the Smithsonian Institute, Purdue University and the US Geologic Survey.

Inside these venerable walls, a thriving antique and vintage community exists, and we explore and shop it well! We buy a lamp that would make Crazy Lamp Lady proud at a porch sale, venture into a vintage shop worthy of a hip urban center, and find a Victorian fire station filled with finds.

TV lamps, Blendo glass, black panthers and tiki gods treat the eye in our first stop, whose proprietors also run a vintage vinyl store in the back with a scarce poster from the closing days of San Francisco’s venerated Fillmore Theater. We peruse Peter Max plates and Carlton Ware condiment sets, and find a great buy on pirate dishes from the old City of New Orleans railroad dining car.

Firehouse Antiques wraps up our shopping, where a fun and ambitious couple have filled an amazing structure with farm fresh furniture and primitives (real old paint, no fakery here!), vintage toys and postcards, wall sized ad signs and medical charts, architectural and garden finds. I pick up items ranging from a lucite owl pin to a Red Goose Shoe bag at this fun emporium, where Spirographs and Victorian corbels live happily every after. It’s enough that I wish I’d rented one of the ubiquitous golf carts to get back to my van!

Here are some of the other things we see on this tour:

Fox print, Japanese woodblocks, Halloween noisemakers, Heisey art deco vase, Goofus rose glass, Ceramic Arts Studio lambs, boudoir lamp, wrestler tumblers, Harlequin creamer, Danish teak cart, Napco owl bank, Bristol vase, transportation tin, bakelite and copper jewelry, doll furniture, crocks and jugs, Shawnee corn, garden urns, orchard ladder, flower garden quilt, Burma Shave sign, club chair, Victorian music stand, yardsticks, cruise line menus, etc.
