Wilmington Antique Shops
The first Antique Store first opened at Liars Corner, about 1965.

Downtown Wilmington business was expanding, prompting the development of Winchester Green Shopping area. Some of the downtown businesses moved, the others either left or closed. About 1976, the Antique Stores started moving into the existing downtown buildings, to create a unique shopping experience, in an atmosphere of days gone by.

From glassware and pottery and collectible plates, to watches, jewelry old and new, furniture, textiles, toys and holiday Antiques and Collectibles, records, books, lamps, salvaged brackets, knobs and drawer handles, etc., and even many arts and craft items and candles. Too many categories to list. Get an early start, you will need the whole day to try and see it all.
All shops are open 10am to 5pm unless other wise noted
