    We rolled into Le Claire, IA recently on a cross country road trip. We naturally stopped into the…read moreAmerican Archeology shop and then headed on foot down Cody Rd to visit the other antique shops in town to see what they had to offer. There were several in town on this main drag. Our research had indicated that Big River Antiques was the place to visit if you want to shop for a diverse selection of antiques. The shop is run by some semi-retired hippies that are some great long time pickers. They have a good eye and bring a good mix of antiques into the shop. Word has it that even Mike Wolfe pops in there to buy when he's in town; We found the shop packed to the brim - floor to ceiling with antique treasures of all types packed and stacked everywhere. The shelves in the main room were packed so tight that it made it challenging to pull something out from the back of the shelf without creating a collectible avalanche. The lower shelves are deep and dark and I should have brought my pickin' light so I could see all the way into the back of the dark deep shelves. There are plenty of old metal advertising signs available in the shop. Lots of of old stoneware, some art pottery, salt and pepper shakers, glassware, jewelry, old oil paintings, prints, frames, lamps, tins, primitives and everything in between. It was a fun shop with so much antique eye candy everywhere that it took lots of time and patience to see it all. The smell of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies was refreshing as we shopped and they were indeed delicious. We enjoyed our visit to this shop and Le Claire, IA and will explore it again if we make it back into town. Definitely stop into the Buffalo Bill Cody museum while you are in town which is nearby. it was an interesting museum filled with much history and antiques.

    To be REALLY honest the Antique Archaeology shop in LeClaire is kind of a tourist trap... But it's…read morea cool tourist trap if you're a fan of American Pickers...! The shop itself (divided between two buildings) is much smaller in person than it appears on TV. There's a lot more Antique Archaeology swag for sale than actual antiques... The staff we encountered were just regular run of the mill retail workers...none the TV personalities. Not that I really expected to run into Mike. Lol For me the best part of the visit was a photo op with the old car out front branded with the business logo (a dilapidated 1950-1951 Nash Statesman Super). And with the motorcycles and other larger antiques on display... LeClaire, situated along the Mississippi River, is a nice little area in and of itself... There are MANY other shops, antique stores, restaurants, and attractions in LeClaire to check while you're there! Along with LeClaire... Clinton, Muscatine, and the Quad Cities aren't far and it's an easy trip to visit aspects of them in a single day or in an overnight trip. Please know I'm sure not trying to discourage you from stopping and checking out the Antique Archaeology shop...! Far from it! It's pretty cool for what it is. Especially if you are a fan of the show...! Just trying to help you manage your expectations a little... Don't put it on a 5 star pedestal before you get there.

    Lots to look at, worth the stop. Things are a bit pricey or marked NFS. :(…read more Some really eclectic offerings. Lots of T-shirts and tourist baubles. Friendly staff.
