Antiquities Dealers from across the state.  Store filled with items that are certain to make you say "I Remember When..."

2010 Granville County Hot Sauce Festival

Remember When Is Moving

Our "New Home" will be 917 College Street, Oxford, NC, just a short drive from our present location. Our store of 135 Hillsboro Street will be closing no later than March 17th, 2012.

The New location is getting a total facelift and will not be ready for guests before mid summer. We bought a two-story cottage-style house with a large back yard and are creating a new interior to fit our style. We are very positive that you will love what we're doing with the house. Philip now has a proper display area for his Rusty Roof & Nail Designs (one-of-a-kind unique creations made from recycled and reclaimed local materials). Many of these things will decorate our new property. We can hardly wait to show off our new place to you!

Please check our web site often for updates and opening announcements!

You may also want to send us an e-mail so that we may add you to our contact list so that we may keep you directly informed of our progress and any upcoming events.

We are sorry that we may have missed your visit, but we look forward to seeing you in the near future.

Thank you for your business and support!

In addition to many familiar Goodness Grows in NC products on our shelves, we also stock our own private label bbq sauces, honey, salsas, vinaigrettes, jams, jellies, relishes,ciders, pickles, and fruit breads. Gift baskets available with a wonderful sampling from our stock of Goodness Grows in NC products.


Owners, Philip Paulsen and Faith Watkins have worked together with their family of dealers to make an exciting and different type of antique shopping experience. Visitors from 38 states and six countries have been welcomed into our store. They are all amazed at the layout and design of the store and say that it is the very best.

Gift registry available for brides,mothers-to-be or those just wishing for that one item or many to make any special occasion a memorable one. Something to appeal to everyone and every budget. For those of you having difficulty with that hard-to-buy-for person, Gift certificates can make the perfect gift.

If you don't see it in the store, there is a wish list available so that our dealers may peruse and see if they may help you find what you need or want. In addition to our 8,000 sq. ft. store, we have an additional 8,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space where we have quite an extensive inventory.

We also have available a wide variety of reclaimed building supplies for those who are preserving historical homes, buildings and businesses. Philip has spent the better part of 20 years in demolition of early buildings and has amassed a great deal of architectural items such as mantles, columns, railings, doors, windows, beams, flooring, fixtures, lumber, stone, nails, hardware,brick, and tin. This sideline has been dubbed by others as "The Rusty Roof & Nail".

Philip incorporates these reclaimed items -- most of which are a part of local history, into one-of-a-kind structures. You will be able to witness his creativity as you wander both floors of the Remember When mall. This is architectural salvage at its very best!

We are in the process of making some new and exciting changes to our business that will make us bigger and better than ever. We plan on adding another 20 quality antiquities dealers. Stop in and see us. We also would like to hear from you. Give us a call at (919) 693-3112 or contact our antique store online.

Make an appointment with our resident design specialist to create a new look for your home using your existing decor or adding items from Remember When.

We also have a clock specialist within our antique family available for cleaning or repairs on all types of clocks.
