The Owners
Although this is a group shop, someone has to own it! Back in the fall of 1997, Rick and Sherry Tobin decided
to expand their horizons and go from owning and operating a family wholesale building materials business in Worcester,
MA with a satilite location in Manchester, NH to owning and operating an antiques and collectables business here in Amherst,
NH. They took the business over in November of that year and immediately breathed new life into the shop and building. The
rest is history. [Pardon the expression.] The store has since, been affectionately called "The Nicest Shop East of the Pacific!"
By the way, we Thank You!
Between the house section and the HUGE barn, is an area called "Kittybunkport Katiques." This passageway is technically
owned by the Tobin's seven feline "kids." They sell an assortment of cat related items including catnip, play mice, catnip,
Kitty Cucumber items, catnip, food bowls, catnip, mats, catnip, ceramic type planters, catnip, cat prints and artwork, catnip,
cat jewelry and did we mention catnip? Kameo, the original "chairpurrrson of the board" has since passed away,
but his other and newer sibs, are stepping up to the plate and may just be found on site to say Hi! A new page
will be created just for them. When it is up and running, please be sure to check it out!

Our Wonderful Story
Treasures was founded in the summer of 1991 here in beautiful "historic" Amherst, New Hampshire. The building that it
is housed in originated as a ca.1750 3-room farmhouse with a dirt root cellar. As time passed and the families back then grew
larger, the house was expanded to add another room. That was in ca.1800-30. Another room was added, then another and another
including a working watercloset and a real kitchen. Yahoo! All of this housing area was tied into the barn, remodeled
and eventually became what is known as Treasures Antiques, Collectables & MORE!. What a past! Imagine, sitting in the
front room overlooking the path to "Amherst Station" well before this country was even born! (about 26 years!) Feel
the goose bumps? You'll have to stop by and see for yourself.
