The suburb of Aurora, 26 miles north of Salem, is known for its antique stores, and this is the king of them: a huge warehouse filled with impeccably arranged relics. Reclaimed lumber, vintage fixtures, lighting, old claw-foot tubs, signs, clocks, boxes, and bits and pieces of all kinds – it's great fun to browse around.
