If you are a lover of all things antiquing and thrifting: listen up! While the big cities and suburbs may seem like the obvious choice for scoring second-hand treasures, it is, in fact, the small and unassuming towns that have the best finds. Case in point: the quiet community of Elizabeth and its incredible selection of world-class antique stores:

Located along the super-charming Main Street, Elizabeth’s antique stores have something for nearly every preference and price point and are almost all conveniently located within walking distance of each other.

Incorporated in 1890, Elizabeth is home to just under 1,500 residents, which makes it even more of a surprise that it has not only lovely antique stores but restaurants and other unique shopping.
