Acme has a little bit of everything and a whole lot of somethings. Because it is structured in vendor booths thee is not consistent pricing. There are many deals as well as may over priced items it is definitely with a stop for those of us who enjoy the hunt. read more

Acme Antiques - Blues Brothers memorabilia - Antiques Near Me - Tappahannock, Virginia

With fun vintage carnival ride pieces outside and surrounded by interesting statues. This store almost calls you in to explore the inside. The inside consists of expected booths from a variety of retailers that offer a great selection of items. I was able to find jewelry, glassware, art and even candy while there! The store is three stories and you will find something in every corner, we spent almost 2 hours here and I still don't think we saw everything! The service workers there were all very nice and we were reminded that we could ask for help at any point twice which was a welcome kindness! While this store has many sights to take in, the prices are really inconsistent, with some booths feeling very fair in value and other booths selling very similar products for 3x more. One example, would be carnival glass products ranging from $12 - $78 dollars for the same pitcher in different booths. While I know the owners do not control the prices set by retailers this is something to keep in mind. It is hard to tell what is a fair price if you're new to antiquing and you may have to search multiple areas to ensure you are getting a fair price. Some booths were not very organized with bins filled with multiple items, glassware on top of glassware, and jewelry/beads precariously pinned to corkboards which made it difficult to maneuver without fear of messing something up. The store itself is covered everywhere with items which can be somewhat overwhelming and makes it difficult to access and see some items. Especially in certain areas that have tight corners and small walkways due to item placement. As a warning, the store also sells some racial stereotype memorabilia which can be jarring to some shoppers. While it is important to maintain history, it may be more beneficial to have these items in a special area for those seeking them. Overall, Acme Antiques is a fun day if you're used to flea markets, antiquing or thrifting. It may be a bit more overwhelming for first time shoppers but you will not be bored. You could easily get lost and spend multiple hours here. I provided three stars due to the lack of organization in booths, questions of value and difficulties maneuvering around the booths . read more

What an awesome place. So many interesting things in one building. I don't care where you are in VA, you need to go see it.

I love this place. A more unique collection of stuff you will not find. And the prices are not bad either. The only reason I dont give five stars is because of the treatment customers received when i was there recently. At about a half hour before they we're scheduled to close, a staffer started walking around flashing the store lights off and on. They approached each group of customers in the store and all but told them to get out. When I pointed out to the staffer that it was not closing time yet, they told me they start closing down the second floor (where I was at) early - and as I experienced, pretty aggressively. I will return to Acme antiques but I'll make sure it's not near closing time when I do. read more

A fun place to look around. Owned by the same people as the Port Royal Trading Post, you'll see a lot of similarities in what's offered but still worth a visit and then be sure to have some ice cream from the shop next door. read more

Great selection of many kinds of decor. Lots of antiques along with cute beach decor. I went with my husband and kids and everyone enjoyed looking at the variety of items. I was excited to get nautical themed hooks for our beach area. There are many different booths that are organized and displayed well. Definitely check it out if you love antique stores! read more
