Welcome to Reed Hollow
A "Thrifty" Antiques Store!
Reed Hollow Barn Antiques, owned and operated by Jen Smith and Scott Hammond, is located in the town of Pembroke, Massachusetts, at 476 Center St., Route 36, the shortest route in the state! Boston lies approximately 30 miles to the north and Cape Cod is 30 miles to our south. Historic Plymouth is only 12 miles away, and we're looking forward to "Hollywood East!" The barn sits far back from the road, so when you drive in, keep on going past our house and around the corner (swamp will be on your right).
The multi-dealer shop consists of two floors, stocked by 11 different dealers, and filled with a variety of items, plus there's a Bargain Basement that includes a Pembroke Kiwanis Thrift Shop. You'll find antiques, collectibles, retro pieces, and many vintage items, as well as scented candles, gourmet coffee, and organic soaps. We're not your "typical" antiques store. LOTS of new inventory is added every week. We sell wonderful herbs in the spring, pumpkins and cornstalks in the fall, and Christmas trees and wreaths beginning right after Thanksgiving. Open Thursday - Sunday 12 - 6. We are usually open on Monday holidays also.
Closed the month of August to revamp, refresh, and restock the store. (It's our three R's!)

Annual Antiques Show in the Field at Reed Hollow
Sunday, October 10, 2010 It's our 10-10-10 show!
Below is a picture from our spring, 2009 show. Two of the tents are not pictured--one over to the right and one beside the Barn.
The Pond in front of the Barn
In the spring of '08 we added this water feature. When you visit, walk over to it and see all the wildlife that call this small pond their home--mallard ducks, loads of dragonflies, whirligig beetles, water striders, etc. There's a resident Black Racer Snake, too, that unfortunately eats all the frogs that hop in from the nearby wetlands. We also have painted turtles who love to sun themselves at the end of the "stream" at one end of the pond. You can see lots more pictures of wildlife here at Reed Hollow on the Garden pages.
Entrance Sign on Center St.
As you drive down Center St., you will see our sign. When we are open, we also fly a large, white flag. The following pictures are of our home, on your left as you drive down the lane, followed by the Skating House on your right by the red maple swamp, and the Wagon Shed on your left, originally built to house our antique wagon from Maine, but we added onto it and use it for outdoorsy parties. The wagon is still in it, in the right wing of the building. There's also the Cabin on the Hill which was the original structure on the property. We are very lucky to have all this land. It has been in the family since 1902 when my (Jen's) great, great grandfather purchased it for a summer retreat.
Customers ask, "What are all those buildings as you drive in?" Here they are:
This is our house, the original structure built in 1995. The original shop, The Most Anything Shop, was housed in the portion to the left of the garage (not shown in this photo shot). Someday, we hope to make it into an apartment for one of my nephews.
The Skating House and "Duck Blind" (but not for hunting!)
This is a great place to put on and take off your skates by the fireplace. It's also a fun place to sit quietly and listen to and watch all the wildlife. We have lots of mallards and wood ducks. And, of course, there are loads of frogs. Spring peepers fill every spring evening and night. They offer the world such a joyous and welcoming song!
View from our house to the wagon shed on left, cabin on the hill (private rental), and Tiki House by pool. Drive in is to the right of this picture.
The Wagon Shed
Scott and I were married here at Reed Hollow. It was a country-themed wedding--everyone wore comfortable clothes, western style. The bridal party arrived by a white, horse-drawn carriage. We came through the cranberry bog roads to the land. All the guests were lining the lane coming in. It was my dream come true. The wagon shed, the center part of it, was built with our wedding money to house our farm wagon that we brought back from Maine. It's now in the right side of the wagon shed.
