Acres and acres of antiques, from old jewelry and knickknacks to furniture and farm equipment, are featured in booth after booth in this cavernous mall. It's almost impossible to make a quick stop here, so it's a good thing the Station Stop Restaurant (located in the center of the mall) serves sandwiches and homemade pie, in case you end up spending all day there. Do call in advance to make sure the restaurant is open, though (765-855-5551) — it sometimes closes during cooler months, when the mall's business is slower.
