Welcome to Wilsonville Vintage & Antiques — where history lives and visitors linger.

We’re a family with a deep appreciation for the past. My shop is in Wilsonville, Ontario, on land that has been home to six generations of my family. This connection to place shapes everything we do, and we care for it with deep respect and pride.

My passion for collecting country store antiques began over 40 years ago. I dreamed of one day creating a space where these treasures could be shared. Country stores — once the beating heart of small towns and villages — offered everything from food, tools and clothing to neighbourhood gossip. They were the original gathering places, a community hub and I’ve long been inspired by their spirit and history.

As I approached retirement after a fulfilling career as a museum professional, I began to think about what might come next. That’s when I realized I could bring my lifelong dream to fruition: combining the nostalgia of a country store with the joy of sharing antiques. With the help of my husband, who created a beautiful setting for the shop, my dream has become a reality. 

Wilsonville Vintage & Antiques is anchored by an original counter from the Hartford General Store. It’s the heart of the space and is surrounded by pieces from my personal collection. Beyond the counter, you’ll find a carefully curated selection of antiques and vintage finds, each with its own unique story.

Whether you're a collector, a curious visitor, or simply someone who loves history, we hope your time with us connects you to the past in a way that makes you want to return - again and again and again.
