We opened our first shop in 1994 in West Brookfield, Massachusetts. As the business grew, we found we needed more space and relocated to Sturbridge, Massachusetts. The opportunity presented itself to move to a 17th Century saltbox in Brookfield, Massachusetts which is our current location. Our customers look to us for quality primitive reproductions and antiques.
The Colonial Quilt Shop opened in Sturbridge, Massachusetts in July of 2007. We offer a wonderful selection of reproduction fabrics, hand-dyed wool, rug hooking supplies and patterns for the primitive crafter. If we don't carry what you are looking for, we will try to find it for you.
Walker Homestead Heirloom Gardens opened in the spring of 2009. We offer a selection of historic plants including perennials, herbs, dye plants and unusual annuals. Our gardens are varied including a shade garden, cottage garden and various theme gardens. Our Garden Shop, located in the Ivy House, offers garden-related products, antiques and gifts.
