I'm planning a trip from the Adirondack region in NY to Portsmouth, NH, and I'm looking for some cool tool stores or antique shops to check out along the way. I'm not often in this area, so I want to make the most of my trip. My route will take me through Concord, NH, and then onto Route 4 towards the seacoast. Any recommendations for places to stop?

Don't miss the Vermont Antique Mall. It's just a mile off Route 89, not far from White River Junction. They usually have a solid selection of woodworking and blacksmithing tools. Definitely stop by if you can!
If you're open to a little detour, there's a couple of great spots in Manchester, but I know that's out of your way. Still, if you happen to be around, they're worth checking out. Plus, Route 4 is known as the Antique Alley, so you'll probably find a few surprises along the way!
You should definitely check out the Vintage Tool Shoppe in eastern NH! It's located in Fremont, which isn't too far off your route. They have some really neat stuff there!
Thanks! I've actually been there before and loved it. Great suggestion!
