Tuscaloosa’s Antique District

Tuscaloosa is one of the larger cities in Alabama. Its rich and complex history entices visitors with a thirst for historical knowledge and this, plus the presence of Alabama University, made it a hub for many museums and sites of cultural and historical interest. Many antique shops cluster in this city too, so visitors can not only learn about the history of this city but take away a souvenir of the past with them! Collectors and antiquing aficionados will also be more than impressed with the array of antiques offered by the many stores found here in Tuscaloosa.

Close to the river and the Capital Park in the center of Tuscaloosa is where a wonderful cluster of antique stores can be found. Strolling down University Boulevard will bring you to many, starting with The Attic Furniture, which offers many unique pieces of furniture, all in great condition and begging for a second life to be granted to them in your home! Olive Tree is a little further down the street, which appears to be a tad chaotic on entry and requires a bit of determined treasure hunting to come away with a special antique, but there is always something here to be uncovered. Almost next door is Alabama Vintage LLC, which is the perfect place for some vintage souvenirs of Alabama itself, specializing in clothing.

There are also some incredible stores that require a short drive out of the center of Tuscaloosa to explore but are more than worth the journey. The Alabama Antique Market is a massive antique mall, so huge that the aisles have street names to help shoppers navigate the store! On the south side of the river is Druid City Vintage Vendor Market, open since 2019 and passionate about giving new life to slightly worn-out items, as well as selling quality vintage and antique goods. There are interesting antique stores down every street in Tuscaloosa and shopping here is always time well spent.
