A jeweler, a flower-and-gift shop, a sports-card counter, and a books-and-cafe spot share one block of the downtown square, with a popular antiques-and-primitives multi-vendor mall north on Section Street. Drive the county roads and you’ll turn up an antique barn on the highway, a candy maker in Hymera, and a restored building in Graysville stocked with an artist’s own work alongside the vintage. You can fill an afternoon on the square or make a day of the whole county. Bring room in the trunk.
SHOPPING IN SULLIVAN COUNTY
Shopping in Sullivan County happens in storefronts, not strip malls.
SPOTLIGHT
Country Attic
Give yourself an afternoon for this one. Antiques, handcrafts, primitives, and repurposed pieces are all in there together, whichever day you come, booth after booth of it from sellers around the county and the region. There’s enough under the roof that a quick stop tends to run long. Country Attic is at 1320 N. Section Street, north of the downtown Sullivan square, open seven days: Monday through Friday 10 to 5, Saturday 10 to 4, and Sunday noon to 4.
DOWNTOWN SULLIVAN
Shop the Courthouse Square
The Court House Square in Downtown Sullivan has a great mix of spots worth your time. Find that rare sports card you’ve always wanted at Hoosier Sports Cards, pick up a piece of fine jewelry at Brown Jewelers, in the same spot since 1928, or pull up a chair at Robin’s Place, an artsy used bookstore and cafe where the food is homemade. Wild Roots and Amber’s Flowers & Gifts round out a square that rewards a slow afternoon.
ANTIQUE & VINTAGE SHOPS
Old things, good stories.
Antiques are scattered all over Sullivan County, and the hunt is half the fun. Country Attic fills a building with booths on North Section Street, Colonial Antiques sits right on US 41 in Farmersburg with aisles worth a slow walk, and Robin’s Place has shelves of used books on the downtown square. Out in Graysville, -Ish sells antiques and art in the oldest standing building in town. Pick a direction and give it the afternoon.
