We also repair stained glass and carry a full line of stained glass supplies. Customer parking lot in back. We are Hen Picked Antiques, a husband-and-wife team who love to hunt for antique and vintage items to sell in our shop. We were bitten hard by the antique bug in 1993 after we purchased an old farmstead in Erin and began restoration on the farmhouse, which was built around 1906. The purchase
led to an interest in antique and historical items which soon grew into a passion. After dabbling in selling our wares at an outdoor flea market for several years, we decided to move the sale to the farmstead in 2001. We had been brainstorming for several years on how to make the barn sales a year around event when some properties became available in Hartford. We toured a couple properties but decided they were a bit too ambitious of a project for us. Bob kept thinking about the church and said "too bad you didn't like it." After reminding him that I hadn't seen it, we set up a meeting with the realtor and I immediately fell in love with
it's beautiful architecture and stained glass windows. On March 31, 2016, we became the proud new owners of the former First Congregational Church building on the corner of Branch and Church Streets. Built in 1853, it is one of the oldest churches in Washington County and we are only the second owners in 164 years! We feature an eclectic mix of antique, vintage and gently used newer items for your home, as well as items for your garden. We also offer stained glass classes as well as stained glass supplies and repairs.
