Our Story

Preserving Stories, One Treasure at a Time

To preserve the stories embedded in every object we touch—and to invite collectors, decorators, and curious wanderers to explore a sprawling North Shore property where discovery happens around every corner.

Second Hand Rose antiques and outdoor displays in Beaver Bay

Our History

Second Hand Rose Antiques & Collectibles opened in Beaver Bay in 1998, born from a passion for vintage finds and a belief that antiques should be discovered, not merely purchased. What began as a modest storefront has grown into one of Minnesota's North Shore's most beloved stops—a large property with outdoor displays, barn spaces, and covered browsing areas, plus a cozy shop inside. Thousands of unique items spread across the grounds, and inventory changes so often that regular visitors make us part of every Lake Superior drive. For nearly three decades, we've been the stop travelers plan into their Highway 61 journey, the shop locals recommend to out-of-town guests, and the place where someone's perfect vintage find finally found its home.

What Makes Us Special

A Property to Explore

The adventure is outdoors—wander displays, barns, and covered areas at your own pace. The inside shop is small but full of surprises.
