 Antique
collectors will love Plumas County for its
abundance and variety of
quaint shops. You'll find items ranging from the
1880s through the 1950s. Many of the stores are
housed in historic buildings or located amid
stunning forest scenery.
Some stores specialize in furniture or home furnishings, while others combine
antiques with Americana, gifts, and secondhand treasures. Antique buffs also can
expect to find books, primitives, model trains and logging and mining equipment
that reflect Plumas County's earliest industries.
The Eastern Plumas area offers an opportunity to follow the historic
Beckwourth Trail (Highway 70) while taking in nearly a dozen stores located in
the towns of
Beckwourth, Portola, and
Graeagle.
Continuing west to the town of Quincy, collectors will find a store on Main Street in downtown Quincy.
The Indian Valley area offers stores in both Crescent Mills and on
Main Street in Greenville. It's walking distance between the six shops in
Greenville, located along Hwy. 89 and Main Street.
The town of Chester also has a Main Street worth exploring for antiques,
including home furnishings, furniture, glass, pottery and collectibles.
Surround yourself in nostalgia by browsing in unique buildings that were once
mill workers' quarters or family homes. By adding a few towns in neighboring
Sierra County, collectors can make a loop tour combining great antiquing with a
beautiful scenic drive.
In addition, antique lovers should make plans to attend a three-day Antiques
Show and Sale held each year over Labor Day weekend in Graeagle.
