A little bit of everything. From antique items to modern items. Each room holds something different and that is the surprise of shopping here. Beautiful Christmas decorations also. I love shopping here.
The Town Trader in Chepachet is a treasure trove for antique hunters and curious visitors alike. From the moment you walk up to its old wooden storefront, the building itself sets the tone for what’s inside—charm, history, and a touch of nostalgia.
Inside, the shop overflows with variety. Shelves hold everything from vintage kitchenware and Pyrex sets to handmade folk art and seasonal displays. The aisles are packed with finds that reflect New England’s past, from rustic farmhouse tools to collectibles that stir up memories of childhood kitchens and country fairs.
What makes the Town Trader stand out is its atmosphere—it’s not just a store, but an experience. Every corner feels like a step back in time, with new treasures tucked into every nook. It’s the kind of place where you can spend an afternoon wandering and come away with something that feels both personal and connected to Rhode Island’s history. #chepachetri #rhodeislandantiques #newenglandfinds #towntrader
We enjoyed our visit to your town. This store is a must it's so clean and organized. We picked up a gun cabinet made by the owners son. Also a olive container that was from Spain that probably is at least 75 years old. We were so glad we found this store. Great items and most of all great prices.
Wonderful shop with all sorts of things to look at! I just bought a beautiful 1940s Murano glass bird yesterday. Truly a wonderful find! Great customer service here also.
This is an amazing antique shop. Just packed to the rafters with everything old and interesting. Plus they have an extensive section of hardware of the antique variety if your restoring old furniture or fixtures. Of special note is the vast number of old oil lamps that are here. I've never seen so many in one place. This is a must stop if you are into the search for artifacts and oddities of days gone by. The building itself is a historical gem.
When i entered this place i felt like i went to another dimension. every little square inch was covered in something and stuff hanging from the ceiling. I feel like i could have spent 34 lifetimes in here and it would never be enough. Great place, will be 100000% returning to take the plunge into 'the backrooms' of antique shops.
Another of this area's primitive and country mainstays though this store in particular has a significant vintage hardware and tool selection. I appreciated the shelves full of glass lamp shades and old Christmas light bulbs. Definitely a great stop if you appreciate these kinds of goodies.
Super rude staff - went in with my son to buy him a toy train and they asked us to leave since he was young and said it’s not a toy store although they have lots of toys they called “collectibles” including paw patrol products that are new - was unfortunately a very disappointing experience that broke my kids heart
Okay, so it's been a long time since I visited The Town Trader, and I gotta say I'm impressed. When Mom said they have all kinds of crystals, beads and things for making necklaces, she was not kidding. I found a cool skeleton key for eight dollars, and two polymer clay pendants for $1.50. One of the pendants will be used to create a custom key pendant; not quite sure how I'll use the other one yet. Then I just happened to find the Laurie Cabot book for ten dollars, along with a fridge magnet that has a gorgeous picture of a monarch butterfly on it. I definitely want to come back again and check out the room mists. I think Mom might want one for a Mother's Day present.
my sister an i make it a point to visit The Town Trader...and always find a treasure.....its cozy and quaint.. the shop owner....goes over an above to make sure his patrons are happy.. a real gentleman..more small shops should be like this...he goes the extra mile... we look foward to returning...always something new... lori,,the primitive hippie :)
Highly recommended, great place for a stroll down memory lane just looking at the items from the past. The owner does so much for our community as well. Stop in and you will come back often.
Like most antique shops, some things can be on the expensive side. But this place has a good selection for every part of your home. Surrounded by other antique shops and the oldest country store in the USA. A great place to visit and find something to take home.
Antiques? Maybe... More like a gold mine for parts to fix almost anything made in the past 200 years. Extensive display of all things great and small. I love this place!
Always a great visit when we stop in...so many awesome treasures...The most amazing set up of necklaces and earrings....reasonably priced.... we will be back
Our family has been visiting this wonderful shop for many years! Beautiful antique setting inside the shop and out! An original old fireplace surrounded by an extensive selection of cast iron ware. There are many lamps, oils and supplies, kitchen ware, primitives, handmade jewelry, tools, and really neat original pieces! Every member of our family (all 7) never fail to find something to love! A myriad of treasures! This is one of our favorite shops! Well worth the trip!
A incredible antique store. Great items, great prices and the owners are very nice! The shop is very clean and inviting. I always find new items to buy every time I go.
Not sure which was cooler, the building it's housed in or the vast amount of quality Everything. Housewares, furniture to the garage and more! If you're looking for replacement hardware for doors, trunks, cabinets, old fridges etc... this is the place.
I absolutely love this store, it has a little bit of everything and the store owners are very knowledgeable and always willing to help you find whatever you are looking for.
I went to this store yesterday with my grandson we absolutely loved it. The owners are so nice and kind they gave my grandson a skeleton key it made his day. We can’t wait to go on another trip to this shop, so many amazing and unusual things!!!!!
Love this antique shop I always enjoy my time in here so much to choose from and experience! I love vintage things and it never disappoints I bought a few items this past trip to give as gifts can't wait for them to open them and I hope they are as excited about them as I am!
This is a great antique store. It has a huge selection of old hardware, door knobs and pulls, cast-iron pans, windows and so much more. This place is so much bigger then it looks from the outside.
This is a cool store with lots of great antiques. It is BIG inside. I didn't have my wife with me, so I daren't buy anything, lest I come home with something that doesn't match! Still, there were a few things here I liked.
