This place is amazing! I stopped here because of the cool looking wares that were on display out…read morefront, but they were nothing compared to what I found inside.
The building has two main rooms; the South shop, which is where the items are that are for sale, and the much larger North room, which holds the owner's personal collection. Unfortunately, most of the items in the North room are not for sale, but it is well worth the time to check it out, as walking through this room is like walking into an early America museum. In addition to selling antiques and collectibles, the Ox Bow specializes in fabricating and repairing horse-drawn carraiges Inside this one room, there were dozens, if not over 100, amazing carriages, as well as a huge collection of accessories to go along with them, most of them in immaculate condition. As I said above, the items in this room aren't for sale, however, when I asked the owner about a few of them his response was that they weren't for sale "yet." There's still hope!
There were some cool items in the shop as well, however, I found most of them to be of the reproduction/decorative tin variety, with just a few actual antique items sprinkled throughout. The pricing seemed fair, as far as these items go, and I still enjoyed walking through the inventory. I didn't buy anything, "yet," however, it was well worth going in for the free "museum."
