Mid-Michigan is home to some of the best antique stores in Michigan – perfect for a day of vintage browsing!
One of my favorite things about Michigan is that you can always uncover something new about our rich history. You can do this through a traditional route, such as reading up on Michigan history. However, there’s another, infinitely more exciting approach you can take: antique shopping. With the holidays coming up, now is the perfect time to go antiquing. Throughout the past few weeks, I visited a bunch of spectacular mid-Michigan antique stores.

Best Antique Stores in Grand Ledge Michigan

Grand Ledge Antique Shop

In the middle of the historic downtown of Grand Ledge is The Salvage Yard Antiques. Its two floors compose the perfect size store for a brief jaunt in Grand Ledge, with neatly organized shelves stocked healthily with vintage items, including great pieces of furniture, making it one of the best antique stores in Michigan.

Unique Lake Odessa Antique Mall in Michigan

Lake Odessa Antique Shops

Of all the Michigan antique stores on this list, the Lake Odessa Antique Mall is certainly the tallest. With three floors full of knickknacks and useful items, this unique antique mall in Michigan boasts more than a hundred booths with all kinds of vintage furniture, vintage clothing, knick-knacks, and more. A pleasant surprise at this mall was that many of the booths have free candy in vintage bowls. Moreover, when I visited, they had a selection of pastries, cider, and popcorn to munch on as customers browsed.

Bonanza Antiques Store in Lake Odessa Michigan

If you’re going to the Lake Odessa Antique Mall, you should also visit Bonanza Antiques in town. Bonanza is right next to the Antique Mall, and its two floors have seventy intriguing booths. Altogether, it gives off a cohesive, eclectic character that you can feel the moment you step inside.

Top Lansing Michigan Antique Shops

Lansing Michigan Antiques: Mega Mall

Located along Old US 27 in Lansing is the Mega Mall, a 40,000 square feet heaven of every antique you could possibly imagine. They have more than 400 booths to browse, all of them having a wide variety of antiques that span from Pyrex dishes to giant chicken statues to vintage Hot Wheels cars. Whether you’re looking for vintage jewelry, vintage clothing items, dining room tables, pieces of decor, wall art, or other historic finds, I recommend visiting the Lansing Michigan Antique Mega Mall with a friend for an amazing shopping experience.

Little Red Schoolhouse Antique Shop in Michigan

A pleasant and unexpected Michigan antique shop I came across in my travels is the Little Red Schoolhouse antique shop in Michigan off of Saginaw Highway in Lansing. This store specializes in vintage furniture, fancy dishes, vintage decor, and adorable trinkets. Additionally, the size of their store isn’t very overwhelming for a casual shopper.

Mason Michigan Antique Shops

My first impression of the Mason Antiques District was one of awe. There are several (about ten) shops that the antique district makes up, and in the middle of them is a gazebo. It feels as if you’re standing in a miniature village, and the effect is rather charming. My only reservation about it is that the antique items you can find in the varying Mason Michigan antique shops aren’t well-organized. Despite this, you can still find hidden treasures.

Williamston Michigan Antique Stores

On my various jaunts to Williamston, I always noticed Red Cedar Antiques store in Michigan but I never had the opportunity to go inside. When I finally visited, I was blown away by how many rooms there were inside this seemingly small building. There are more than thirty or forty individual rooms, all of which have different, distinguished personalities within their space. You can spend hours just finding your way through this mini Michigan antique mall.

Sign of the Pineapple Antique Shop in Michigan

Though their selection is not as big as others on this list, I recommend Sign of the Pineapple Antique & Gifts at the Williamston Alpaca Shoppe simply for their postcard collection. This modest-sized shop has an amazing collection that amasses hundreds of cards, which combined span dozens of topics and locations across the world.
