I'm all about a solid hunt that takes time to dig through. There are 3 full houses to search, and 3 outdoor shacks. Not to mention, it's essentially a museum as well. Don't sleep on this Antique store! In my top 25 Minnesota Antique Hunts!

There are different buildings to go through, a little "village" school, church, store, hardware, and more. You can enjoy a wide variety of vintage items in a setting that can take you back in time.

I enjoyed watching all the school children learning about the more simple life and work and chores throughout the tour! Jerry and the volunteers are delightful and super sweet with all the kids!

What a super fun place. Full of goodies. It's multiple building, we couldn't see them all due to being snowed in still. But even the 1 building was worth it.It's in the middle of nowhere... really, but you will not regret the drive. I'll be back sometime when the snow is gone so I can REALLY dig. But since I found all my Hoosier glass from my wish list here, it's now one of my top 5 Antique Stores ever!So fun!

Ten stars on a scale of 5!!! This place is truly a one-of-a-kind and an incredible and very memorable experience. 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!

Such a fun place! We bought a ton a stuff for our Etsy business and loved walking back in time with all of the old buildings. You can tell the owner really loves his little antique town. His prices are super reasonable as well. Don't pass this place up!
