Yesterday's Treasures

The town of Fenton is near several small lakes (Mill Pond, Seven Lakes State Park, Silver Lake, Pine Lake, Marl Lake, and others). Fenton is an easy drive on US-23, and is located between Flint and Brighton. Fenton is home to three antique stores that make it worth the drive. Click here for a map. 

Yesterday's Treasures is at 300 S Leroy, the heart of downtown. They like to say, "If we get a good deal, we give a good deal." The shop is in the old office building from the mill days. Ask Stacy about the history of the building and especially Mrs. McCrory. The shop is wonderfully quirky. An old printer's chest is home to the estate and antique jewelry, and two chairs sit right in front to make you comfortable while you hunt for treasures. Open the drawers and doors in the wonderful old furniture to find more things waiting for you. This shop is for people who love beautiful, old pieces. There is sterling and plate, old doorknobs and furniture hardware, fine old glass items, embroidered linens, as well as vintage hats and dressing table items. There are shelves of salt-and-peppers, teacups, and cookie jars. There is street parking and nearby parking lots. Contact information: yesterdaytreasures@sbcglobal.net, 810-714-2600.
