Antique Treasures in Indiana

Treasures are just waiting to be discovered along Indiana's self-proclaimed Antique Alley.

The towns along old US-40 east of Indianapolis harbor something like 900 dealers in a 60-mile stretch. But while the selection of stores is vast, acquiring doesn't need to be the point of a weekend getaway here. Search for treasures of another sort--ideas, inspiration, some relaxing moments, excuses to abandon calorie counting--and, then, maybe a memorable find or two to take home.

Slides 2 to 14 explore some of the highlights of Antique Alley; see slides 15 and 16 for other Midwest antiques destinations.
