There are places that feel curated… and then there are places that just are. Lynnville is the latter. Tiny, quiet, and deeply rooted, it’s the kind of town where craftsmanship still matters, where front porches outnumber stoplights, and where a good find usually comes with a story. This itinerary isn’t about rushing—it’s about slowing down, wandering, and letting the day unfold the way a good antiquing trip should.

Doors are opening on once dormant buildings, live music is playing in the evenings, and shopkeepers are arranging vibrant displays for each season. Under the surface of this transformation is something pretty interesting: Right now, every business on the Wartrace Square is run by women.

Vintage Remnants (aka your antique-loving best friend with a full tank of gas and no self-control in a good shop) Just south of Nashville sits Columbia, Tennessee, “Muletown” if you’re feeling local—and let me tell you, this place is the kind of town that sneaks up on you. One minute you’re planning a casual day of antiquing, and the next you’re mentally rearranging your house to fit a French armoire you absolutely don’t have room for.

Tucked just off the square on Main Street, this shop is full of character, history, and shelves packed with one-of-a-kind pieces that are waiting for a second life.
