Tucked away in the historical town of Farmington, Connecticut, is a true independent treasure: ANTIQ'S &ndash; a real mom-and-pop antique shop still run the old-fashioned way.No dealer booths. No glass cases locking away every object. No 1970s &ldquo;vintage&rdquo; masquerading as antique.Here, you&rsquo;ll wander among museum-quality 18th- and 19th-century furniture, lighting, porcelain, silver, and paintings&mdash;hand-picked, honestly presented, and priced for serious collectors who appreciate the difference between trendy and timeless.Feel the grain of a period highboy. Open the doors of a Federal secretary. Hold a period Federal mirror. Sit at an elegant George III dining table with 14 matching shield-back chairs. Examine our fresh inventory of early paintings.These are the kinds of antiques that largely disappeared when most independent shops closed decades ago.We&rsquo;re inviting two kinds of people:Discerning private buyers from Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island (and beyond!) who are tired of driving hours only to find 20th-century lighting and Beatles posters labeled as &ldquo;antiques.&rdquo;
Established dealers who specialize in important early material and need fresh, high-quality merchandise that hasn&rsquo;t been picked over in group shops.
If you&rsquo;ve almost given up on finding a traditional, owner-operated, authentic antique shop that feels like the 1980s&mdash;but with today&rsquo;s expertise and keen eye&mdash;come see us. Pull in the driveway and you&rsquo;ll say what everyone says the first time:
&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t believe this place is still here.&rdquo;
Rediscover what antiquing used to be. You won&rsquo;t believe your eyes.
ANTIQS has been a hidden gem in Farmington since 1990 &ndash; the only privately owned antique shop in the area offering genuine early American and Victorian pieces in a welcoming, no-pressure setting.See you soon!

Historic Stanley-Whitman House in Farmington

Stanley-Whitman House

Stanley-Whitman House, a ca. 1720 National Historic Landmark in the heart of Farmington, Connecticut, is more than a museum; it is a living storybook of New England’s colonial past. For nearly a century, this house museum has welcomed visitors to step back in time and discover the rhythms of daily life in 18th- and early 19th-century Farmington. We offer guided house tours, seasonal programs, school field trips, and hands-on workshops that illuminate history through experience. From hearth cooking and foodways demonstrations to gravestone cleaning workshops and walking tours of Memento Mori Cemetery, each program brings to life the traditions, struggles, and resilience of early residents. Our growing America250 initiatives highlight Farmington’s role in the Revolutionary War, showcasing both well-known patriots and underrepresented voices, including women, Indigenous peoples, and African Americans. Our interpretive gardens, artist interventions, and rotating exhibits connect the past to the present, while our partnerships with local schools, historical societies, and cultural organizations deepen community impact. The Stanley-Whitman House also serves as a resource for genealogists, researchers, and heritage travelers who seek authentic connections to New England history. What makes us unique is the way we blend scholarship with storytelling, preservation with participation. Visitors don’t just learn history here; they touch it, taste it, and walk in its footsteps. Whether you join us for a house tour, attend a lecture, bring your students, or support us through membership and special events like our annual Progressive Dinner, you become part of a tradition of keeping history alive for future generations.
