Shopping & Antiquing

Unique Shopping

The downtown areas of Nevada City and Grass Valley draw avid shoppers from all over the world! If you are tired of the same old cookie cutter stores, come to a place where every store is unique, and the items they sell can be found nowhere else!

Antiques & Collectibles

For some, it's a stroll down memory lane. For others, it's a remembrance of the treasures they admired in grandma's house. The friendly, knowledgeable dealers you'll meet and chat with as you shop the antique stores of Nevada County will heighten these warm enjoyable feelings of the past. What was once a small handful of shops in Grass Valley, Nevada City and Truckee has grown to over 50 stores and malls stocked with furniture, glassware, primitives, books, clocks, clothing, ironwork and all manner of memorabilia. Many of the shops are housed in buildings dating to the mid-1800s, each with a story of its own. You'll find the dealers to be knowledgeable and always willing to help you locate those missing items in your collection or provide suggestions for the perfect gift.

Whether you are looking for a gift of antique jewelry, a piece of crystal or depression era glass, a unique table or chair for that empty corner, or an old print or postcard, you're sure to find it and many more fascinating pieces that will compliment your collection. Most shops are open six and a few seven days for your shopping convenience. Plan to make a day of it or better yet two. With so many places to visit and neat things, you'll want to see it all.
