Where: Wilson, North Carolina
Scouring for vintage treasures is a timeless Southern tradition, and seasoned collectors guard their favorite spots as closely as anglers protect their prized fishing holes. But some spaces are worth sharing—like Boone’s Antiques in Wilson, North Carolina. Located on U.S. Route 301, this sixty-plus-year-old institution has sold wares to the likes of Andy Griffith and Johnny Cash. Considered one of the best sources for continental furnishings on the East Coast, it’s a trove of grandfather clocks, Georgian chests of drawers, delicate porcelain, and much more.
