If you don't feel like traveling that far to look at some antiques and collectibles, you can always check out "Back of the Barn Antiques" in Remsen. This place has some really, REALLY cool finds, and lots of goodies to search through. We found a whole section on old books, that was really interesting. From antique tools and dolls to collectibles, this place is definitely worth the visit, and it's right here in Central New York.
