Newest Cherry Valley Store Now Open and Welcoming Shoppers
BUSINESS PROFILECHERRY VALLEY
The Cherry Valley Emporium, located at 19 Main Street, had its soft opening on February 14. Formerly Attic Antiques, the Emporium is housed in a historic building in Cherry Valley and has been the home of many businesses throughout the years. An art gallery, a hair salon, and long ago a soda fountain and pharmacy, the shop is currently full of antiques and vintage finds. Visitors are invited to “feel free to come in and see Janet or Tracy and peruse the many shelves.” The Emporium also houses some consigned items from people’s personal collections as well as items from area clean-outs.
As you enter the first room from the street, you will see a sampling of handmade chairs from a maker in Schenectady alongside some vintage pieces. In the glass cases in that room, there is a fine collection of costume jewelry and some old cameras and parts, as well as other interesting ephemera. Take your time looking at the shelves, where you will find such items as old African masks, a vintage clock and a giant potato masher, among many other treasures.
