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!

Great stop if you're in the area. I try to go at least once every year. Depending on the weekend…read moreand time you arrive, you may be searching for a parking spot and have a bit of a wait to an open parking spot. There is the main entrance right off hwy 59 and another around back. A few must tries as you will most likely be there for several hours are the lemonade stand, mini donuts, and kettle corn. The lemonade stand has several flavors and I believe $5/cup. Great on a sunny day! They offer meal options as well from a central building, sometimes with a food truck in attendance too. The stands have a nice variety of clothing, jewelry, toys, furniture, indoor and outdoor decor, tools, and vintage items. You're bound to find something for everyone. With any flea market, prices can vary from booth to booth. Some are very reasonable and some are on the pricier side. What would you pay for a vintage treasure or handmade item? On my most recent visit on June 19th, 2021, there were a lack of stands on the one side of the shady hollow lot. At this time, around 1-2% of people I saw were wearing masks. I was told there were several more stands around Memorial day. Perhaps it will be more full around 4th of July? Regardless, there was a great variety of items and I got to pick up a few unique items. I'm excited to see what I pick up on my next visit here!

Love this place and we were so happy to see it opened on Memorial Weekend as it has every year…read moresince FOREVER. Some vendors were cautious and some were a tad silly with require people to put hand sanitizer on their hands prior to entering the tiny building. Yet no mask was required to enter. Definitely was no social distancing, as the place was packed. Some new building were raised so a lot of new things to look at. Several food vendors were there also.
