Treasure Hunting in Connecticut

By Linda Tancs

Open every Sunday from April to December, Elephant’s Trunk is the largest weekly flea market in New England. Located in New Milford, Connecticut, the venue is chock-full of treasures for every kind of buyer. In addition to antiques and collectibles, you’ll find plants and food products, too. The mix of food and merchandise varies every week, with vendors from all over the East Coast making their way to the pre-dawn lineup at the field; many of the vendors have been attending since the very start of this market in the 1970s. Buyers can enter via early admission (before 7 a.m.) or general admission (from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.) by paying on-site. Enter at Candlewood Lake Road South.
