Bayard Antique Village

Take a stroll through this historic village of boutiques and chat with the shop keepers, artisans, and service providers. I went on a gorgeous Friday. Everyone was so friendly! I got a bit of history about the location from Charlotte and Alan. Most of the shops are filled with antique type treasures; some are artisans; one is a complete massage parlor! Be sure to stop in and visit Deris who provides massages by appointment and also makes candles. In the center courtyard you'll find a large, open-air barn with flea market type wares. The many cats on the property are spayed and cared for by the property owner. This 100-year-old treasure was once a popular stop for travelers headed south.

Loved this piece of old Florida reimagend. Winifred at Over the Moon was friendly and knowledgeable about the pieces in her cottages. Will definitely stop by next time we are in the area.

It's definitely worth a visit. There are plenty of shops to look at. The people are fun to talk to as well. There are so many stories and history. There are a lot of pets around, and the buildings are older, which is all part of the experience. I talked to a former clown, dancer from Broadway, and learn2d some history of this place. We need to keep it going by supporting those who sell here. Check them out, if it not for you, fine but you won't know if you don't go!
