Clinton, MO: All-American City

I had some time to kill between classes, so I decided to check out what Clinton, MO, had to offer.  Clinton is the county seat of Henry County, and it has a very nice city square.  With an old-fashion square, one would assume that there should be some antiques.  There are!!

The first stop is a place called Treasure Chest.  It is a smaller location, and it did not seem to have much in it.  Not everything was an antique, but the store never really claimed to be an antique store.  It could be a flea market, so that would be excused.  It is a quick go around, but a shopper looking for something in particular might find luck there.  I did notice that every record there was $1, which is pretty reasonable.

Across to the next corner, there is Antiques on Washington.  Most antique locations have started to be booth format, but Antiques on Washington is still owned and operated by individual collectors.  This can be a plus or a huge negative.  Antiques on Washington has stuff you don't normally see in typical antique stores.  When walking through the door, you are greeted by old toys, and they look like they are in great condition.  There is a lot to look at in the store.  I did wind up buying some coasters that look like airplane gauges.  They are not antique but I thought they looked really neat, and I have always had a weakness for aviation.

I was running out of  time, so I had to get moving to make it to Wagon Wheel Antique Mall.  This is located in an old strip mall, and it works perfect for the location.  The shop was full of glassware and various other items.  I even found a few potential Father's Day gifts to keep in mind when trying to figure out something to get the guy who has everything.

Time was not on my side, so I had to dart to make it back to class in time.  I know there are other shops in Clinton, and I will have to make a trip when I have more time to enjoy myself without restrictions.

Until next time... Happy Hunting!
