With over 150 dealers, this vast multi-vendor mall offers an overwhelming selection of antique furniture, estate jewelry, vintage toys, model trains, railroad memorabilia, coins, glassware, and one-of-a-kind collectibles. The second floor features an impressive operating model train display. Customers consistently spend 2-3+ hours browsing the well-organized booths and wide aisles.
