Riverfront Antiques and Grandma Nell's are adjacent to one another with an adjoining door between…read morethem. Grandma Nell's, to me, is more like a boutique (without the clothing), kind of upscale, where Riverfront Antiques is an actual antique store. Riverfront Antiques to me is more of a classic antique store. Everything from larger furniture, to vendor booths with smalls, to an upstairs room with crusty, dusty, and rusty items. It's well organized and while I didn't buy anything here it's a place I could see checking in on once in a while if I was in the area... I imagine inventory changes now and then with each vendor. The one thing I didn't like. The woman at the counter was on the phone from the minute I walked over from Grandma Nell's to the time I walked out the door to exit Riverfront Antiques. And I was in there for quite a while... I didn't try to listen so it very well could have been a business call. It's just a pet peeve I have so it's something I notice. Like if I'm at the counter at Dunkin' and they are taking care of the people in the drive through first while I'm standing there. Like... Hey! I'm right here! Maybe at least acknolwedge a guy? Hopefully it was just a one off while I happened to be there... From an antiquing standpoint... Definitely worth the time to stop if you are in the Clinton IA area!

Ancient Dragon Antiques is another fun little stop right in downtown Clinton. If glassware is your…read morething this place has TONS of it! Don't get me wrong.... It's a typical antique mall style setup with booths belonging to different owners so you will find anything and everything. Not just glassware. The main part of the store is kind of an L shape with a small room cut out on the center that showcases a large display/selection of uranium glass... Probably the biggest collection I've ever seen all in one spot. It's truly impressive. Prices once again vary with the vendors. Some items are high, some are at market, and there are some good deals to be found too. I took home a black glass flower stem frog. I collect different ones of these and use them as pen holders etc. on my tables at home and my desk at work. Definitely not what they were designed for, but it's how I repurpose them...! If you're into thrifting and antiquing... Make sure Ancient Dragon Antiques is on your list if you are in the Clinton IA area!

This was by far my favorite stop of our July 4th weekend adventure. It was the one I bought the…read moremost at anyway... Lol The gentleman who was on staff Saturday is the son of the owner. Very personable and friendly. I had a great time just visiting with him even if I hadn't bought anything. The shop is an old Victorian style house (supposedly haunted...see pic of article from the Gateway). The first and second floors are laid out like a typical house. Each room showcasing a selection of merchandise. There are some locked cases on the first floor you will need to ask staff to unlock. Typical setup as any other antique shop. I found some old vintage pocket knives that had belonged to the current owner's husband that I was able to buy at a very reasonable price and a Keen Kutter pocket knife that was a little more expensive... There was a Keen Kutter Kutlery display case upstairs that I would have loved to have taken home... ! It was pretty big, we had no room, and it was $400. The selection of items here ranges from retro, some modern, to vintage or antique. Clothes, hard goods, some larger furniture, and a lot of smalls... You definitely get a kind of creepy vibe on the second floor, but not that much different than any other old home from that era... My maternal grandparents lived in a very similar house. The upstairs always seems strangely quiet to where you hear every creak and groan of the aging construction, you hear the wind when it's blowing, and the temp varies from downstairs and from room to room. We didn't meet "Helen"...and I'm okay with that.
