Just outside the quaint town of Hartville in Ohio's Amish country is a great place to shop, the Hartville Flea Market. This lively market, a landmark on Route 619, is a goldmine for those looking for a vast and varied shopping experience. Spread over 12 acres and featuring more than 800 seasonal vendors, it offers a huge range of items, from vintage treasures to everyday necessities, all at very competitive prices.
If you're into antiques, the Hartville Flea Market is a must-see. It's a great place to find antiques, collectibles, coins, tools, and lots of other unique items. Each vendor has something different to offer, which makes it a great place for collectors and bargain hunters alike.
The Hartville Flea Market is right on the same grounds as the Hartville MarketPlace. It's a lively, ever-changing spot that adapts to the changing seasons and times of day. If you're looking for the best items, the early mornings are the best time to go. It's also when the flea market is at its busiest, which goes well with the different shopping experiences you can find at the Hartville MarketPlace. As the day goes on, the flea market slows down a bit, which is great for browsing. Meanwhile, the MarketPlace is still going strong with over 110 unique vendors indoors.
The weather has a big impact on how active the market is. On cooler or cloudier days, the outdoor area sees fewer visitors, while sunny, warmer days bring the outdoor stalls to life. You'll find vendors spilling out into the parking lot on those days. The Hartville Flea Market is always a new experience because of its unique outdoor-indoor dynamic.
The market gets a lot more charming when the seasons change. The indoor area is open year-round, but it's especially busy on Saturdays in the winter. The summer months of May through September are the peak season. During this time, we see a lot more outdoor vendors, who often have more budget-friendly items than their indoor counterparts.
The Hartville Flea Market really comes alive on national holidays like Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day, attracting even more vendors and shoppers. In the early fall, the market gets a festive makeover with outdoor vendors selling seasonal favorites like apples, pumpkins, and the highly sought-after Concord grape pies.
The Hartville MarketPlace & Flea Market is more than just a market—it's also a great place to eat! After checking out all the different vendors, take a break at Sarah's Fresh Market Grill. They serve home-style cooking with big portions, including everything from comfort food to fresh, locally inspired dishes. If you're looking for something lighter, The Coffee Mill has expertly brewed coffee, teas, and refreshing drinks in a cozy atmosphere, perfect for recharging before you explore more treasures.
