This is a pretty interesting little antique shop in downtown Lafayette. They've got all kinds of…read moreitems for sale that are very interesting and creative. The shop is very clean and, unlike many stores of this nature, you can walk around without fear of creating a domino-effect of falling knick-knacks. I saw a really interesting German bicycle here recently - it was from the early 1970s and was made in West German, which I thought was neat. The shop owner was very knowledgeable about the bike and was able to tell me a little history on it. If you're strolling down Main Street and are doing some shopping or have some time on your hands, Main Street Mercantile is a great place to have a look-see.

The people who run this store have been doing it over 30 years. They are good people…read more You aren't in business for 30+ years for "cheating" people or being "rude". I'm afraid to say that being a retail business is hard, and sometimes people get worn out from it. That said this is a solid shop, and there is a lot of inventory that changes ALL THE TIME ! I know I've been there and bought stuff for 25 years!). The owner operators have hearts of gold, but it's hard to show it every day for 30+ years! People love the quirks of the "TV show" people, but when they encounter real people... run to the internet and "trash them". Be kind... it's a store that is unlike any other for 200 miles or more. They support the kids of this community in many ways for many years, sure they may have pissed a few people off, but like I said, they have hearts of gold and more often than not are kind and helpful. Running retail for 30 years isn't easy.

They even make use of the short, narrow hallways, staircase and upper floor vestibule. There are many lovely pieces of furniture in great condition, old toys from as far back as the 20's/30's, collectibles and books. It's like visiting your old, rich aunts house, but you can sit on the furniture and touch the valuables. The prices are also in accordance with the age and condition of the items so there aren't any deals or steals here. This is a great antique shop and unlike most antique malls, it's clean, dust free and uncluttered by kitsch. Having a sporty, mid-size sedan saves me a great deal of money here because I always find something I can't live without here but won't fit into my car.

It is worth a trip to Battleground to check out Shoup House. It is located in an old, two-story…read morehouse. The outside is kind of cluttered and could use some attention, but don't let that keep you away. The inside is great. Lots of rooms, as typical for an old home, and every room is full! They carry antiques as well as some reproductions and decorating, but if you are looking strictly for antiques, no worries. There are plenty! Nice ladies run the place, and they are always good to work with and fun to talk to. I always come away with several items, often unusual and cool stuff. There are a couple of diners/restaurants in town, so it is a nice destination for lunch and a bit of antiquing. So, all in all, Battleground isn't really an antique town, but for us, Shoup House is a destination, in itself. Go, but save some good stuff for me!

While visiting Battle Ground, IN to see the historical, Tippecanoe battlefield where General…read moreHarrison and the Shawnee chief, Tenskwatwa (or The Prophet), fought and started one of the sparks which would become the War of 1812, we stumbled across another historical site - The Shoup House. There's nothing I love more than museums and antique shops so I was in 7th heaven this particular day. Shoup House Antiques is everything I want in an antique shop. It was like someone read my mind and fabricated this special place just for me. My vacation cottage is only 1500 sq. ft. with average to low ceilings, small bedrooms and an open floor plan where the common rooms are. I don't have a lot of free wall space and even less floor space so I can't really fit antique furniture (the kind that obviously belong in homes like The Shoup House or grand Victorians) in here. What I can do is buy little accent pieces to create wonderful vignettes on my night stand, shallow shelf nook, library wall, etc. The Shoup House carries antiques and European inspired reproductions. I am a huge lover of all things from Ballard Designs and Restoration Hardware, and I found similar, if not identical, items here and for even less. I bought a beautiful table top Santos figure for $9.00 which sells for $39.00 in Ballard Deigns catalog. The oval wall clock which sold out for $82.00 was $49.00 at The Shoup House. My favorite purchase though is an architectural piece where someone talented had taken gorgeous, old tin ceiling tiles and molded them against a wood frame to create a 5' long x 18" high wall shelf for only $45.00. I feel like I stole this piece. It was so hard to keep myself from buying all the things I have coveted for so long in those catalogs and in the stores, like wire cloche bells, shabby chic balusters and columns, large b&w canvas map of downtown Chicago, antique bird cages, leather armchairs with nail head trim, etc. If I could buy the house with all the antiques in it, I could happily live here not moving a thing and consider myself at home. It's also fun to peruse all the different, 11 rooms of the house where everything is organized neatly and artistically in primitive or shabby chic cupboards, armoires and shelves, on the walls, from the ceilings, in the closets, on the porch and along the staircases. Almost every inch is packed full of antiques and decorative items, but it doesn't feel cramped or overwhelming. I haven't been this in love with a store in a few years so yes, my review is long and exuberant because I'm still giddy from my visit and discovery of this fabulous antique shop.

It was my first visit to Lafayette and we had just eaten there right before the store so it was an awesomely coincidental souvenir. The lady working the checkout counter (I think she was the owner) was super friendly. The roads all around them are under construction so it took us a few tries to get in to the parking lot. She was staging a tableau of items to sell on Facebook live, I thought that was a pretty cool way to combat the reduced sales. They are on Instagram also.

Some booths are so small that only one person can enter at a time. Other booths are immaculate and well organized. The clerks are friendly, but not intrusive. We did not find the plates we were looking for, but I am sure there were treasures somewhere. There is plenty of close parking and access ramp for strollers and wheel chairs.
