Woodbury Makes 'Best Small Towns for Antiques' List

House Beautiful ranked the 50 best small towns in the U.S. for antiquing and Woodbury is the winner for Connecticut.

House Beautiful is a fan of small town life, especially when it comes to antiques shopping.

"Whether you're looking for a mid-century favorite or an 18th-century rarity, shop like a professional antiques buyer and head off the beaten path,” Brie Dyas for House Beautiful wrote. "Smaller towns tend to offer far better deals than big cities — not to mention much more charm, too.”

House Beautiful chose the best towns for antiquing across all 50 states. In Connecticut, Woodbury was the winner.

"The 'Antiques Capital of Connecticut' is home to some of the most exquisite, well-edited shops in the region,” Dyas wrote. "It's also one of Martha Stewart's favorite places to find great pieces, so really, how could you go wrong?”
