Nothing infuriates a traveler more than to travel 150 miles only to find out that the business owner is too lazy to update their website with the proper open and close times. After planning to spend the day in Clinton to go antique shopping, we arrived at the Clinton antique Mall defined a teensy little note on the door (which by the way said they were open), that said closed on Wednesday. Their website clearly says that they are open on Wednesdays and closed on Sundays.

We drive about forty five minutes as we heard Clinton was one of the Best antiquing centers in the state. The Clinton Antique mall has lots of merchandise but it was not the quality of antiquity I am used to. It was interesting to visit the lovely town and browsing is free. If you need a break from antiquing be sure to stop for a coffee and snack at E. Claire’s on the antique row.

Lots of variety of antiques, we had a great time browsing. One store we went in to had a little cafe in it, huge store and with 100 degree weather, they had no AC, big let down there

I was really looking forward to visiting Clinton, TN as I heard so much about it as a destination for antique shops. While the shops were nice, I found them pretty typical of similar shops in other areas. The Clinton Antique Mall is large, and nice to walk through, but did not find anything special there.

We enjoyed browsing the wonderful and beautiful old things and true antiques! We saw several treasures we have not seen any place else. Everything was very clean and attractively displayed. Prices were very reasonable too.
