This place is a little off the beaten path, about 25 minutes south on I95, and ONLY open on Sundays. It's a local favorite for everything antique and consignment. This huge warehouse features architectural salvage and independent vendor (monger) booths. A great way to pass a Sunday afternoon, if this is your kind of thing!
