Richmond / Wayne County Indiana is a one-stop destination for shopping

Shopping small is especially meaningful. Following the historic floods that affected Cambridge City, Hagerstown and surrounding areas, every purchase from a locally owned business helps support jobs, families and the continued recovery of our communities. Whether you visit on Small Business Saturday or plan a holiday shopping getaway anytime during the season, we invite you to explore Wayne County, shop local and make your visit part of the story.

Although the cleanup and rebuilding process can take time, progress is already being made. Doors are reopening. Business owners are welcoming customers again, and every purchase can help move the recovery forward. Across Cambridge City, Hagerstown and western Wayne County, locally owned antique shops, boutiques, restaurants, attractions and other businesses are reopening or working toward reopening.

Every purchase and overnight stay helps generate revenue for local businesses and the people they employ.

Cambridge City Flooding

Make your holiday shopping part of Wayne County’s comeback story with a treasure-hunting trip to Cambridge City – the heart of Indiana’s Antique Alley. Within its charming, walkable downtown, shoppers can explore National Road Antique Mall, High Hats Antique Mall, Allen Antiquities and Curiosities, Europa Antiques, Building 125, The Old Tin Roof Antiques, Vinton House Antiques, Rustic & Main and SassyJunk. From vintage jewelry, collectibles and American country primitives to European furnishings, repurposed décor and handcrafted pieces, these locally owned destinations offer memorable gifts you will not find in a big-box store.

Our friends at The Red Chandelier and Lumpy’s Cafe face a longer road to recovery. We encourage you to follow their social media pages, share their updates and join us in celebrating when they are ready to reopen their doors.

Turn your Cambridge City visit into a relaxing overnight getaway and give yourself more time to shop, dine and explore. Experience historic small-town charm at The Inn at High Hats, enjoy an art-inspired stay in the Monét on Main, or unwind in one of the beautifully renovated apartments at The Lofts on Main. An overnight stay extends your adventure while generating additional support for the local businesses helping Cambridge City move forward. Make your visit part of the story.

Monet on Main

The Shoppes of East Main in Hagerstown features antiques, gifts and home décor to check out. From custom T-shirts and signs to banners and other creative products, The Logo Shoppe can help transform your idea into a meaningful, one-of-a-kind gift. Kick up your heels at the Boot Box, and cap off your shopping adventure by loading up on signature soft caramels and other great treats at Abbott’s Candies, a local fixture dating all the way back to 1890.
