 Flea Markets: Hunting For Treasures Has Never Been More Fun
Posted by mainetodo on Monday, September 08 @ 17:23:47 PDT
Fall: Bargain hunters love flea markets and Maine has plenty of these roadside attractions to choose from all over the state. If you are wondering what the attraction is, just hop in your car and take a drive in any direction on Route 1 until you come across what probably looks like the biggest lawn sale you have ever seen. Route 1 is home to some of the finest flea markets in the state like the Montsweag Flea Market in Woolwich. This place has it all with over 100 different vendors selling antiques, books, dishes, tools, jewelry and a whole lot more! The best part of shopping flea markets is negotiating the best price for your new found treasures. When finish browsing at Montsweag, jump in your car and head a little further up Route 1 to Newcastle where you will find Foster’s Antiques. Foster’s has a great year round indoor and an outdoor flea market that runs through October every weekend. There you will find a good mix of old, used and some wonderful estate antiques. A fun thing to do is to spend the morning at these flea markets then drive back
into Wiscasset and enjoy lunch at Sarah’s Café right on Main Street. While you are there, be sure try the fresh soup and homemade bread bar, it's delicious. Save room for some of the best homemade pie in the area. After, take some time and stroll along Main Street and check out some of the antique shops and gift stores. If you skipped the pie at Sarah’s don’t be distressed, Red’s Eats is directly across the street from Sarah’s and offers Maine’s own Gifford ice cream that can be enjoyed on the pier overlooking the waterfront. Fall is a great time to hit some of Maine’s coastal Route 1 flea markets, less people means better deals for you!
