Antique Tobacco Barn

Locals’ pick

77,000 square feet of antiques on the Swannanoa River, with dealers packed wall to wall selling furniture, vinyl, old signage, and general oddities. It came back strong in 2025 after the flood and restocked fast. Give yourself a couple of hours, because you'll need them.

Lexington Glassworks Locals’ pick

A working glassblowing studio on the South Slope where you can watch pieces get made right in front of you, furnace roar and all. Grab a beer, pull up a bench, and stay for the live blowing.
