Ten stars on a scale of 5!!! This place is truly a one-of-a-kind and an incredible and very…read morememorable experience. Our family of six spent a totally enjoyable four-plus hours this past Sunday at Jerry Hiltner's Vintage Village Antiques in rural Osakis, Minnesota (population 1,750). "Rural" takes on new meaning out here on the dirt roads of northwestern Minnesota where the only facilities on this site are a pair of outhouses. Jerry offers tours and field trips of the "Village" by appointment 7 days a week from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Pre-scheduled visits for small groups include a Thanksgiving-like candlelight dinner for a modest fee per person. We enjoyed walking through a half dozen buildings on the property including a vintage school room, a small church, a blacksmith shop and a few vintage structures filled to the brim with interesting antiques and collectibles for sale. The highlight of our afternoon was an incredible home-cooked, family-style Chicken Dinner with all the fixins in the candle-lit dining room of the site's turn-of-the-century farmhouse. Jerry is the gregarious owner and host, as well as chief cook and bottle washer of this awesome village of vintage buildings that he relocated to this bucolic site. He is a chef with a life-long passion for antiques and all things antiquarian. Jerry's passion and good-natured love of life is immediately felt as you meet this country gentleman. After our magnificent dinner, Jerry capped off our visit by giving us a buggy ride through the fields in a vintage Amish-style carriage pulled by a smart nine year old Filly. What a day we had at the "Farm". For me, it was like stepping back in time and into a snapshot of life a hundred years ago. Thank you Jerry for your incredible Minnesotan hospitality. Without question...10 stars on a scale of 5!

We found 8 Princess House tall glasses, something my husband has been wanting as we only had one left. We also found a beautiful crystal biscuit jar that I've been wanting for years! We like things with a story and don't always like to buy brand new because of the history and memory where we stumbled to buy it! The gal who helped us worked part-time and was super friendly and helpful and wrapped up everything so well that it made it back to Cali in the car without any breakage! We even bought a rosary to give to give my brother who had been recently admitted to hospital for 3 weeks while on vacation and I wanted him to have the cross nearby as his constant reminder of Jesus was there with him. If you like antiques or neat trinkets or need something super special for your home or to wear as in jewelery, stop on by as you never know what you will stumble upon! Thanks again!
