Sheffield MA Antique Heaven

Travel Day Trips Presents Sheffield MA Antique Heaven

Just before Great Barrington is the town of Sheffield MA. Sheffield itself was settled in 1725 and is situated on the Housatonic River. Indeed the area around the town shows its agricultural roots with open farmland nestled in the foot hills of the Berkshire Mountains. This lovely town contains many antique stores in colonial and Victorian houses. There is the Painted Porch which features country antiques, Cupboards & Roses featuring Swedish antiques and Linden Rosen Antiques that specializes in American country furniture. You can drive through the town on Route 7 and stop every few feet for another antique store. A famous bed and breakfast is also in the middle of the stores called The 1802 House. During the year the town holds art shows and antique fairs in what serves as the town center. If you want to find antique items in a quaint, quiet town, then Sheffield is for you. To get there travel North on Route 7 just above the Connecticut State line and the Connecticut town of Canaan.
