Here in New Hampshire, antiquing is a way of life. Perhaps it's because so many of us live in old homes with years and years of history – we love knowing that the objects that fill those homes have just as much of it. There are plenty of places to go treasure hunting in New Hampshire, but there's one that stands out as a spot that you could spend hours – or even days – combing through all the fascinating antiques on offer.
The Laconia Antique Center is perfectly located for a stop during a Lakes Region trip, and unlike many of New Hampshire's flea markets, it's open all year round.
Step inside and you'll find 22,000 square feet of floorspace, with over 200 dealers offering their wares.
It's positively bursting at the seams, but unlike some other antique centers it's clean, well organized, and pleasant to browse.
No matter what you're looking for, you're sure to find it. Naturally, they have a large selection of antique furniture.
There are plenty of vintage books and magazines to be found as well.
But the sky is really the limit here – from charming train sets to model cars and more, the ephemera available here is seemingly endless.
And when you get hungry or thirsty from all that shopping, you can pop over to Connie's Counter, the 1950s style lunch counter within the antique center. Make sure to get a root beer float with your sandwich!
You can find the Laconia Antique Center at 601 Main Street, State Route 106, Laconia, NH 03246. It's open 10–6, every day of the week.
