American Mural Project (AMP)

AMP is a nonprofit organization that celebrates American workers and inspires collaboration. In addition to its centerpiece “art of work” mural exhibit—the largest indoor collaborative artwork in the world—AMP offers educational programs for all ages and an eclectic lineup of live events. AMP’s mural exhibit depicts diverse workers on a grand scale and tells real-life workers’ stories. The exhibit is open to the public on Fridays (10am-5pm), Saturdays (10am-5pm), and Sundays (12pm-5pm). Volunteers support AMP’s mission through program assistance, event help, and maintaining this unique cultural landmark, which is a renovated historic mill building.

Millerton Antiques

Curios on consignment, on the corner. Like an estate sale gone wild, Millerton Antiques has a constantly changing panorama of intriguing items that warrants an unhurried poke around. The sprawling, two story, multi vendor store should be of particular interest to collectors of folk art, jewelry and ephemera.

EDITOR’S NOTE – If you’re looking for antique furniture, be sure to check out Johnson’s Antiques just around the bend.

Oblong Books & Music

We do love a true blue bookstore and Oblong Books & Music just might take the cake. (Though the sister shop in Rhinebeck gets our props as well.) Find recent releases and obscure titles with the help of friendly and knowledgeable staff. The children’s section is especially delightful and we always check the windows for upcoming events. Long live indie!
