Easily the best smelling store on Antique City Drive!…read more Where this stop didn't have a ton of items...it is one of the nicer little shops downtown. Some of us like to dig and don't mind getting our hands a little dirty...getting a little crusty, musty, and dusty. My girlfriend doesn't... Lol This was her type of store. This is a well put together little shop... And did I mention how great this place smells...?

This was my favorite store in Walnut, IA! When you are antique shopping, it can get a little…read moreoverwhelming and it's hard to find the stuff that you want...specially when you already have something in mind. But the owner at Mabel's Old Fashioned Rose was the nicest and most helpful person in Walnut! He asked us what we were looking for, and right away showed us a couple pieces, and gave us suggestions of other thing we could add to our collection. I would definitely be back to see what else he has in store.

There's really not a bad antique store in Walnut IA. Some are going to be more up some people's…read morealley than others will be... Corn County Antiques has a wide selection of items and the prices vary from reasonable to kind of high, but that varies with the vendor who owns the items....not the shop itself. This shop just wasn't my cup of tea and I can't really explain why... Maybe it was because we were at the end of our day? This was one of our last stops in Walnut. Maybe it was something in how the merchandise was displayed...? Even though Corn County Antiques wasn't one of my favorites...it might be yours! I'd encourage everyone...if you're in Walnut... At least poke your head into every shop on Antique City Drive. It's a tour that can be completed in less than a full day and you never know what kind of a hidden treasure you might find as you walk through this neat little town.

We love spending time in the Walnut IA area! We stopped back in here this weekend. Somehow we…read moremissed a couple of shop on our first go around. Bear Trap Antiques was one of them... We were greeted right away when we walked in. A soft spoken older woman behind the counter who I assume was the owner. We were on our way home to the Des Moines IA metro after spending a few days in Lincoln and Omaha NE. There is a TON or stuff here! Two floors. Everything from higher end items to rough, crusty, and dusty. Lots of smalls to some larger items. I walked out with a couple of piano shaped tricket boxes and cocktail shaker. My girlfriend picked up a couple bracelets. Two things I should probably mention... There was a little standing water in the basement/bottom floor over by the glassware. Not enough that the place smelled musty or that it impacted any of the merchandise. It's an older building. It happens. Just be aware. The second thing. Cash only. There is an ATM nearby if you need it. Bear Trap Antiques is definitely worth a stop if you are in Walnut!

She was willing to negotiate price which is refreshing. I found many of the items to be reasonably priced. This is an small town antique shop not a boutique. I found it to be a little dusty...

This is one of what I would consider to be the two main antique malls in Walnut IA. The other…read morebeing Granary Antique Mall. We spent a lot of time in these two places... Rows of cases and tons of shelves. Everything from very smalls and jewelry up to large furniture. This was our second stop after Rusty Farm Girls Primitives and right then we decided the trip to Walnut from the Des Moines IA metro had been worth it. We've driven a lot further for a lot less. The woman working the counter here was very friendly and willing to work a little on prices if we were serious about it. One of the few places where that offer was extended... I would have loved to have taken that HUGE bell just inside of the front door home with me... If only I'd had a spare $1,250.00 in my account. Unfortunately the amount of flex up and down we both could do wasn't going to get us in the ballpark. Lol Walnut Antique Mall and Granary Antique Mall are two must stop destinations on your visit to Walnut IA!

This shop seems to specialize in the larger furniture items...as the name implies…read more It has a real rustic feel to the shop. Lots of dark wood. A lot of piles. I found the barrels and saddles fascinating. Not that I need to own either one...but I'm a bourbon fan and having grown up around my grandfather I've always had an inclination towards the "old west." The owner was friendly enough and we engaged in some casual conversation before we left the store. Probably not your dream location if you are looking for smalls, but don't not stop here because of that... You never know what you are going to find. Like a buffalo figurine collection that someone had unloaded that was randomly staged on an old bureau in the front room.
