Antiquing — the art of finding old treasures — can be a thrifty way to find the original knickknacks that turn a vanilla apartment into a cozy home. Many antique stores have multiple vendors, so almost anything could be tucked away around the next corner. Not everything is trophy-worthy, however. Shoppers looking for a bargain on décor and other sundries must have a deal-finding sense attuned to spot the hiding gems in the clutter. Hermann is not only a Mecca for Missouri wineries; the German settlement is also home to quite a few antique stores.

John Wilding moved a 100-year-old barn from outside of Hermann into town to accommodate his antique business in 1975. Specializing in kitchen and farm collectibles, this is the place to go to check out old farm tools or buy mom a gift for her chicken-themed kitchen.
