Ohio antique malls aren’t hard to come by, with our smallest towns and largest cities housing these treasure troves in droves. But an Ohio antique mall where you can grab a root beer float and play classic arcade games? That’s next level — and exactly what you’ll find when you visit Chillicothe Antique Emporium.

Chillicothe is a charming Ohio town located on the Scioto River, about 45 miles south of Columbus. It’s home to a population of around 22,000, definitely qualifying it as a “big” little town, but you’ll find a lot of small-town spirit here – especially downtown.
