Collinsville Antiques Co 283 Main Street, New Hartford, CT 06057

"My daughter and I love to visit this spot. I used to come here once and a while with my dad. Sometimes I find a treasure. Sometimes its just fun to walk around and look at all the items people have in their booths. Bonus is there is a brewery located in the same plaza area for when you are done!"

"First visit to check out what the antique shop was all about. It's organized and easy to navigate. Each site had a variety of items for sale providing plenty to browse. Staff roamed the floor and was available to help but didn't bother you. Plan to spend time if you're really wanting to take a look at what all there is for sale. Really wide variety of items including jewelry, decor, furniture, trinkets, and kitchenware."

"Update 7/2023: Did a day trip to Collinsville Antiques during my husband’s week off. He’d never been here before, and the drive is lovely. Well, of course he loved the place, too! We spent a couple hours here & looked at every single booth. I love seeing what people are selling and at what price (as compared to Poshmark, Etsy, EBay, etc). I dabble in selling, so it’s fun fieldwork. I do look for unique things for myself as well (and did find some this trip, too). It was a great way to spend a late morning/early afternoon. Original post: My family and I love looking for vintage treasures at everywhere from estate sales to thrift shops to flea markets and antique malls, so I was very excited to accompany one of my adult children to Collinsville Antiques. He’d been there before and loved it, but this was my first time. The drive was lovely as we passed through the hills of western Hartford County into Litchfield County (the market is in New Hartford, according to Google). Pulling into the large parking area for Collinsville Antiques, i saw that there is some handicapped parking and a long, gradual slope of a ramp as an alternative to the handful of steps at the entry—a plus! While the building does look big from the outside, it somehow manages to seem even bigger indoors. The booths are placed in such a way as to make the most of the available space, and what a vast assortment of treasures lay before me! I was so relieved I wore my good walking shoes (a must). While it was easy to traverse the main walkways, I can’t say the same for many booths. If one has a cane or walker or wheelchair, you’re better sticking with the main aisle. Still, some booths did have more space than others. I followed the flow path marked on the floor, which kept the aisles mostly orderly. We visited on a weekday early afternoon, so it wasn’t at all crowded. The attendants, lovely ladies who might be booth renters, were attentive and helpful, offering to bring items in hand up to the front for safekeeping. I was very impressed and took their offer. I have a method for antique mall style shopping, so I used that focus to get me through all the aisles. I wasn’t in a rush, but I have a limited amount of time my legs can take standing and walking. I think I will bring my wheelchair next time and use it as needed. The items offered for sale in the building ran the gamut from vintage to antique (with some new mixed in) and the prices had a wide range as well. I would say the shopping is geared a little more to the end user than reseller. I did find a handful of pieces I wanted for myself, and I felt they were priced appropriately. Collinsville Antiques is a place I’d like to come back to again and again. The people are so polite, friendly, and helpful, and the goods are so varied and likely change out often. Other details worth mentioning: 1. There are bathrooms marked for men and women. I didn’t check to see if they’re accessible to all mobilities. Next time. 2. There is a spot by the front office/register where the do sell prepackaged snacks and drinks. At this time (July 2022), I was one of the few people wearing a mask, as they seem to leave that up to the individuals. But there are no mask mandates currently for the state anyway."

"Collinsville Antiques of New Hartford is the best all around place for antiques, vintage and collectibles. Hands down, more than any other shop in the state. Staff are helpful and ready to accommodate. It’s a super place to spend an afternoon or a whole day as it is a huge place filled with thousands of treasures. Great for the collector and decorator as well as the theater! Beautiful items for movie sets! Fun for everyone. Kids get their own shopping cart to help mom and dad shop ( or for themselves)! Looking for a unique gift? Yep, they will have it. 5 stars!"

"I’ve been going to antique stores with my wife for years and I wouldn’t return here. The staff were pleasant, it had clean bathrooms, and there were some interesting items in the main room. I felt that there was far too much cheap low quality modern items being sold in the booths alongside the antiques. Prices were not geared towards the bargain hunter. There was also a pungent odor which smelled like a broken cologne bottle and it finally drove us out after a short time. Preferred the antique store in downtown Collinsville for deals."
