In Searsport Township, ME, Treasures & Trash Barn scores 92/100 with mostly glowing reviews. Shoppers praise its massive, eclectic selection—vintage house parts, tools, signs, nautical gear—and a friendly, knowledgeable owner who knows where things are. Prices are usually fair (often near eBay), though some cite overpriced small/rough items and limited haggling. Organization has an organized‑chaos feel: some grouping and price tags help, but tight aisles/low ceilings mean digging. Finding parts is mixed; no clear wait‑time issues noted. Note: some report cash/check only.
The most unique and amazing antique store I’ve ever been too! You could spend hours here sifting through all the treasures inside and outside. If you want it he probably has it! Owner is also the nicest genuine person and you can tell how much effort he puts into his store! I found an amazing vintage boat and tote, excited to come back and find more treasures.
Just go! Wander through inside-It’s such an experience to see all the treasures he has collected! Jeff the owner is very knowledgeable and kind.
Just know you need to bring cash or a check.
Stopped in today on our way back home. Unbelievable place, there is so much to see you could spend days looking through all the good collectables and useful things. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable about the things he has. We purchased an antique clamming rake. The prices are very reasonable.
Nice collection with fair prices - the owner is friendly and reasonable - it is kind of a lot of work to get through and find what you want but that seems to be part of the charm.
What a treasure trove! Stopped while on vacation and found an S&H Greenstamps sign I have been searching for. I really enjoyed meeting Jeff and found myself wishing that I had more time to sit and talk with him. He is definitely a great ambassador for the beautiful state of Maine. May God continue to bless this man.
The is a fun place to shop and walk around. There's so much stuff here, I'm sure you could come many times and find things you missed before. I spent about 45 minutes here, could've spent more but we were on our way somewhere. We need more places like this!
Lots to see! Everything from blacksmithing tools/anvils/post vices etc. To license plates, antique bed frames and architectural salvage! Prices seem very reasonable! If you are restoring a house or piece of furniture and need period appropriate knobs, this is your place! Very friendly owner! He knows where everything is!
Words Can't explain Nor can a Picture
YOU MUST STOP IF YOU APPRECIATE OLD ITEMS!
The collection at this shop is like no other. Anything a collector or person that can appreciate items that where made during a time when they had to last.
Always Super friendly!!!
Very unique place! If you have an old home you are working on, this is the place to find whatever you need. Faucets, sinks, tubs, doors, door knobs, windows, old tools, and SO MUCH MORE!! This is not a place for those looking for the new and modern. It is very much a salvage barn, but there are absolutely treasures for those willing to stop and look!
You, along with anyone you can get to go with you, will be saying, "holy sh...", repeatedly. The owner is also very personable and funny. Trust me, you will be amazed!
Fun place to check out but the prices are too high for a place that clearly has a LOT of inventory and the quality/state of the items are poor and need cleaning/repair
More an experience than anything else. The barn is literally packed end to end with..... well one person's trash is another's treasure, as the name says. Lots of tools, mechanical devices, and junk. But stuffed in there we did find some very cool signs. If you've driven past it you know you want to stop. That's why we finally did. We didn't regret the use of our time. Have fun and happy hunting.
If you like old tools and hardware this is a good place to go. Owner is knowledgeable and helpful. Prices are roughly what you'd pay on ebay, maybe a bit lower. You are unlikely to find incredible bargains here but you can find a lot of uncommon and hard to get items at a reasonable price. I am planning on going back when I have more time to spend there!
Amazing place to roam around. Everything under the sun is there and lots of the items were labeled with a price which is so helpful! The owner was very kind and chatted with us for a few moments. Also we drove by on a Monday and the store was surprisingly open. May be worth a drive by even if it is a typically closed day. One person’s junk is another person’s treasure!
This roadside gem is a slice of heaven on earth. Caught the owner Jeff off season when the shop was closed. He was so accommodating, let us look around, and very knowledgeable/helpful about what we were looking for. Will definitely be back since I could spend all day lost in here.
If you can't find it here, I'm not sure where you will. They have a little bit of everything and it is actually grouped to similar items, so you don't have to dig too deep. A fun place to stop.
Delightful stop! We were looking for an authentic buoy, because they are really cool. The owner of this place was awesome. Talked with me about what lobster buoys are all about and what the colors and numbers mean. We found exactly what we were looking for and then some. He thanked us for coming here and told us he needed people like us because its unusually quiet this Summer due to Covid. We were happy to shop here!! My best to you kind sir. What a cool place you have.
Stopped by on our way Bar Harbor area. Stopped at many antique places and if looking for rusty gold this is the place for you. I was lucky to stop in and find gas/oil signs for what i thought was reasonable some of which are NOS. Has many street signs (some old, some newer) and hit and miss on gas/oil signs just depends on what they find to sell. Definitely recommend if into antiquing.
Lots and lots and lots of stuff. Endless house parts for vintage homes. Many boat motors from the day. Tools and tools from yesteryear.
Hint: watch your head inside.
I mean look, the name says it all. This is a barn filled to the brim with trash and treasures, but mainly trash(at least to me). There is so much stuff in this location, it is literally overflowing out of the door. The inside is a regular Collier's mansion! There are aisles and aisles of stuff, so closely packed together that you can barely make it down them. And towards the back of the barn, the ceiling gets so low that I needed to crouch and almost crawl. All in all, I had a great time looking around, there is really some great stuff in here, as long as you're willing to dig. I found a neat and terrifying manequin headed Santa Claus!
This is a mixed review, there is a plethora of awesome stuff at this place, don’t get me wrong, however, when you see simple items such as bowling balls with chips in them, and old VHS cameras, priced at $18, and $25 respectively, my first instinct is that negotiating or haggling probably wouldn’t do me much good. I would expect to see lot of the smaller items here priced at four or five dollars tops, so when I see a $25 dollar price tag on such an item, I’m not inclined to make an offer at all. If the place expects or needs this kind of profit margin, I don’t want to offend the staff with what would seem like a pathetic offer.
I completely love this spot. Tons of old goodies inside n out. You walk in and it's like a coal mine or cave jam packed right n left. You round a corner and you walk into yet another chamber of packed stuff. Some things are a tad pricy but it's great stuff to say the least. I wish I had more time to spend in there.
