Maine’s smallest city, Hallowell, is well known as a destination for serious antiques and collectibles shoppers. However, there are many spots for antique and vintage goods in the region’s historic downtown buildings, houses, barns, and renovated mills. This tour will take you from the bottom to the top of Maine’s Kennebec Valley, stopping along the way at some of the best places to find treasure ranging from 1700s antiques to vintage 70s items.

Along the way, look for flea markets, tag, garage, barn, and lawn sales that often begin early Friday mornings and run through the weekend. Whether in a charming shop or someone’s door yard, these unique finds make the best souvenirs of a visit to Maine and the Kennebec Valley.
