Nebraska Antiquing
Home > Find a B&B > Antiquing

One of the best parts of traveling is the unexpected. Sometimes our most memorable experiences are not the ones we planned. We stop at a roadstand stand for lunch and have the best meal of the trip. We meet someone who becomes a lifelong friend at a Nebraska Bed and Breakfast. 

Antiquing in Nebraska can be unexpectedly delightful. When you are open to adventure and don’t need to adhere to a strict schedule, you can uncover one treasure after another. The best place to start is at your Nebraska Bed and Breakfast, where you can ask the innkeeper for tips on interesting local shops. Many Nebraska Bed and Breakfasts are furnished with antiques, and a good number of innkeepers are knowledgeable about these pieces. Some may be family heirlooms, but others will have been purchased for the inn. There is sure to be an interesting story or two about the antiques in each Nebraska Inn – don’t hesitate to ask about it!

Bed and Breakfasts in Nebraska can be a great source of information, as well. Guests bring a lifetime of experience with them, and many are more than willing to share some of it. You may learn about where to find rare antique butter churns from another guest over breakfast or tea in the parlor. Who knows?

Antiques in Nebraska range from early pioneer and Native American artifacts to Victorian furniture to jewelry. Quilts and handiwork are abundant in Nebraska. They can be found in shops, antique fairs, flea markets, and even swap meets. You’ll find a number of interesting antique stores in the cities of Omaha and Lincoln, but be sure to look for them in smaller towns too.

With so many scenic routes across the state, it is a treat to meander through it. While doing so, you will undoubtedly run across at least one curious shop that will be unexpected, and worth taking the time to find.
