Our Wonderful Story
Treasures was founded in the summer of 1991 here in beautiful "historic" Amherst, New Hampshire. The building that it
is housed in originated as a ca.1750 3-room farmhouse with a dirt root cellar. As time passed and the families back then grew
larger, the house was expanded to add another room. That was in ca.1800-30. Another room was added, then another and another
including a working watercloset and a real kitchen. Yahoo! All of this housing area was tied into the barn, remodeled
and eventually became what is known as Treasures Antiques & Collectables. What a past! Imagine, sitting in the front room
overlooking the path to "Amherst Station" well before this country was born! Feel the goose bumps? You'll have to stop by
and see for yourself.

The Owners
Although this is a group shop, someone has to own it! Back in the fall of 1997, Rick and Sherry Tobin decided
to expand their horizons and go from just owning and operating a family wholesale building materials business in Worcester,
MA with a satilite location in Manchester, NH to owning and operating an antiques and collectables business here in Amherst,
NH as well. They took the business over in November of that year and immediately breathed new life into the shop and building.
The rest is history. [Pardon the expression.] The store has since, been affectionately called "The Nicest Shop East of the
Pacific!" By the way, we Thank You!
Between the house section and the HUGE barn, is an area called "Kittybunkport Katiques." This passageway is technically
owned by the Tobin's two feline "kids." They sell an assortment of cat related items including catnip, play mice, catnip,
Kitty Cucumber items, catnip, food bowls, catnip, mats, catnip, ceramic type planters, catnip, cat prints and artwork, catnip,
cat jewelry and did we mention catnip? On occasion, Kameo, the "chairpurrrson of the board" and his sister "Tiffany"
and new brother "Kodak" are on site to say Hi! A page has been created just for them. Check it out often!
Here are the two oldest Tobin kids!
