Welcome to the Antique Center of Gettysburg, one of the Mid-Atlantic's finest multi-dealer antique shops. Located in the heart of historic downtown Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, our shop fills lighted glass showcases with quality antiques and carefully selected collectibles drawn from a roster of specialist dealers. From Civil War militaria and fine porcelain to sterling silver, antique jewelry, and rare books, every case tells a different story.
Few places blend history and the antique trade as naturally as Gettysburg. Set along Pennsylvania's famous Route 30 antique corridor and just steps from the town Square, the Center has long welcomed collectors, reenactors, battlefield visitors, and curious browsers alike. Whether you are searching for a specific Civil War artifact or simply enjoy the hunt, our showcases reward a slow, careful look.
A Center of Specialist Dealers
What sets a great multi-dealer shop apart is the depth of expertise behind every case. Our dealers each bring a focused specialty, so the merchandise is curated rather than accumulated. Across the showcases you will find:

Why Collectors Visit Gettysburg
Gettysburg draws more than a million visitors to its historic battlefield each year, and the town has grown into one of the country's great destinations for antiques and Civil War material. The Antique Center sits within easy reach of New Oxford to the east, Carlisle to the north, and the Maryland line to the south — a natural stop on any collector's circuit. For the historical context behind the artifacts in our cases, the National Park Service's Gettysburg National Military Park is an excellent starting point.
