Along the busy stretch of Route 1 in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, sits Route 1 Antiques — a longtime favorite for collectors and curious travelers heading toward the Seacoast. The unassuming red barn-style buildings hide a maze of vendor booths filled with everything from vintage signs to mid-century furniture.
Inside, the air smells faintly of old wood and history. Many of the dealers specialize in regional Americana — weathered ship lanterns, farmhouse pottery, and coastal ephemera that seem to tell stories of New England’s maritime past. Whether you’re browsing or on a mission, every turn brings a new surprise.
Established as part of the area’s Route 1 antiquing corridor, the Hampton Falls market connects with nearby shops stretching toward Rye and Portsmouth. Together, they form one of the most enduring antique trails in New England — a living link between the state’s Yankee heritage and today’s weekend treasure hunters. #hamptonfalls #antiqueshopping #route1antiques #newhampshire #newenglandfinds
First time in and it was a lovely experience. Super nice people, Greg was incredibly helpful, and it was huge! Totally recommend getting lost in their store.
Love this antique mall! There 3 floors total of multi-dealers selling all sorts of antiques. Greg and his cute doggie Heidi are so kind and welcoming. I really appreciate how caring and attentive the staff are. A must for any antique lover :)
We made a pit stop here while heading back from our long weekend in Hampton Beach.
We received a warm greeting when we entered the shop.
They have lots of vintage items here covering a large array of categories.
Some of the stuff appears to be high end and a bit pricey.
The place consists of an old house & barn and has been in business for almost 50 years.
It’s definitely worth while to stop in for a look, because you never know what you’re going to find.
Route 1 Antiques is not to be missed! We’ve been back a few times since our initial visited and we always discover something new. Three floors packed with everything you can think of and some stuff you couldn’t dream up if you tried. They’ve got glass case items on the main floor and an area of antique clothing and lace.
In the basement there is a huge selection of glassware and porcelain as well as art and furniture pieces. In the attic at one end you can find professionally made bow ties. At the other end at the top floor you can find toys, comics, Trek Model Kits and an array of military items.
I myself discovered a metal soldier figure which when researched turned out to be representative of the famous Roland the Knight!
Much more to explore there and I can’t wait to get back!
Great store with many vendors. Incredibly friendly staff. Had a very good conversation with Lionel, one of the owners. He was very patient with my wife and myself. We ended up buying several pieces of jewelry. Try to go when they are having a sale. One of the best antique stores around.
I have been a customer for years (Doing my Birthday and Christmas shopping for unique gifts). Now I have also become a dealer in this great multi-dealer shop! The staff and owners are so knowledgeable and helpful. There is such a wide range of vintage, mid century and antiques with cases of jewelry. Over 75 dealers, 3 floors of 19th and 20th Century decoratives. And now several dealers have vintage fashions too. Such a fun destination...you'll want to stay for hours.
First time here. Very welcoming staff and helpful. Much larger than it looks! A little bit of everything available. Whole rooms of vintage toys, linens and a lot of glass and jewelry.
If I could give this place 100 stars, I would! Can’t say enough good things from the wonderful owner Lionel and staff to the amazing, eclectic, and expansive selection of items. My husband and I had a great time perusing the treasures and chatting with Lionel about the history of the place. I’m always on the hunt for new antique places and Route 1 Antiques easily takes a spot in my top five. We checked out their other location in Stratham as well and were equally wowed. Thank you Lionel for saving, preserving, and improving this gem! You’ve earned repeat customers for life!
Shopping at Rt. 1 Antiques is a must for us every time we visit Hampton! There is a wide range of very nice items ( wonderful organized.) Staff are delightful and well informed!
We just found this gem a couple of weeks ago! We loved exploring. Found a few treasures! Can't wait to go back soon! We were greeted warmly and gave us the info on the layout of the store. They couldn't have been any nicer.
