While shiny new things can be appealing to many people, they don’t have the charm of antiques and vintage items that have withstood the test of time. New Brunswick is home to many great antique shops where antique aficionados can check out and find hidden gems.

On the way to Hopewell Rocks is Angel Mist Treasures and Johnson Museum. It started as an antique store and at some point, the owners decided to keep the more fascinating items. The showroom is filled with treasures you can take home. They also buy antiques, if you are willing to part with yours.
