As the vibrant hues of fall begin to paint the landscape of the White Mountains, there’s no better time to take a scenic drive and explore the charm of the North Country. Here at Littleton Chevrolet, we know that our customers are looking for more than just a great vehicle; they’re looking for an experience. And what’s more quintessentially New England than combining the stunning spectacle of fall foliage with the thrill of a good antique hunt?

Just a short, beautiful drive from our dealership, the historic town of Bethlehem, NH, offers a trio of unique shops that are the perfect destination for your next autumn adventure. Load up the family in your new Silverado or the all-new Trax and prepare for a day of leaf-peeping and treasure hunting.

Lonesome Woods Vintage and Antiques

Step into a world of curated vintage finds at Lonesome Woods. This second-generation antique and apothecary shop is a true gem. You’ll find a delightful mix of antique furniture, rustic decor, and unique collectibles that evoke the spirit of the White Mountains. But the treasures don’t stop there. Lonesome Woods also features a lovely selection of handmade apothecary items, including candles and soaps, perfect for bringing a piece of your North Country journey home with you. It’s a shop that feels both timeless and perfectly suited for the modern cabin lifestyle.

Chris Curran and Jerry Antiques

For the serious collector or the casual browser, Chris Curran and Jerry Antiques is a must-visit. With a wide variety of items packed into every nook and cranny, this shop promises the excitement of discovery. You never know what you’ll find, from vintage glassware and classic books to old tools and unique furniture pieces. It’s the kind of place where you can easily lose an hour (or two!), digging through a rich tapestry of history and finding the perfect piece to add to your collection.

Legacy Books

A bibliophile’s dream! Legacy Books is more than just a used bookstore; it’s an experience. Housed in a beautifully preserved space that was once an apothecary, the shop retains its original wooden cases, pressed tin ceiling, and even a library ladder. The owners describe it as “not over-organized, just dusty enough, with a bit of Great-Grandmother’s attic with a dash of Diagon Alley,” and that’s the perfect description. You’ll find a well-curated collection of inexpensive used books, from rare finds to well-loved classics, all waiting to find a new home. It’s a quiet, cozy retreat from the world and a testament to the enduring power of a good story.

So, as the fall colors reach their peak, consider a drive to Bethlehem. The scenic roads will provide breathtaking views of the fiery red, brilliant orange, and golden yellow foliage. And when you arrive, these three unique shops will offer a different kind of treasure hunt. It’s the perfect way to spend a crisp autumn day in the North Country.
