Big Chicken Barn Books

This place is huge and packed. The entire top floor is full of books. Great selection of antique collectibles. You can walk around for hours. The prices are a bit high for what you get. The place smells like mold so I really couldn’t be in there long. It is definitely worth a visit . People are nice and there is tons of parking.

So many books I couldn't believe it, and even a section like an antique store, it was a lovely experience.

Awesome. This place is loaded with antiques and tons of books. You need to stop...

We had fun!! Very fair prices compared to what we see at home in SC and NC. Really quirky and eclectic selection! I don't much care for ritzy antiques, I love the strange and unusual and there was plenty of that here. Really enjoyed this experience and I am a very experienced vintage, thrift and antique shopper. My husband found fantasy books from his favorite author no longer in print.

Amazing place. I can spend all day there. Even without buying… but found really great pieces of furniture there, reasonably priced compared to more central places and really authentic.

Something for everyone here, awesome place!

Very cool place. Antique stalls on first floor and a ton of used books and magazines upstairs. You can easily spend hours in this location

I go here at least a dozen times per summer, if you are passing it by then your trip is wrong. I cannot emphasize enough how awesome this place is, how cool the stalls are, and how worth it spending a few hours here can be.

Great collection of books/antiques

As my wife puts it: "this is the place to go for your Maine honeymoon!"
I couldn't agree more, it was blast. Lots to see, both books and items. Plenty of material and nice staff. Sales all over the place. Parking was great and the location was easy to find.

I love going to Big Chicken Barn Books! I always find what I'm looking for and surprises that I am not. I found a lovely teapot inspirited planter with a hearty plant inside, for only a few dollars. Can't wait to put it on my desk at work!

What a wonderful bookstore and antique shop! It’s a huge building with a plethora of antiques on the ground floor and books on the second! Be prepared to spend hours in there, we do lost track of time!

The five stars here go entirely to the antiques. We spent what felt like hours looking through the various booths in the first floor before heading to the books. Always a fun time in the antiques.
The books on the other hand are fairly commonplace and I'd recommend going here exclusively for the antiques. Unless you want old magazines. If so, strap in.

I love this place! Been visiting it over thirty years. Never know what you're gonna find. Move slowly and watch your step upstairs. Oh, and the best time to go is the coldest part of the winter... That's when most vendors have their best discounts.

As someone who tries to only buy used books, this place is an absolute utopia. Highly organized by category and alphabetical order. Massive selection with chairs placed in the aisles. Just a dream to browse. I can go in there with a list of authors/particular books in mind and not have to spend 100 years searching. I can also pick a category, like psychology, and find what I didn't know I was looking for.

This place is huge! So much cool and unexpected stuff. The book collection covers the entire 2nd floor and it’s staggering! I’ve only seen this many books in a library.

1st time visitor- Needed a book to keep me entertained so I stopped in. Wow! What a huge assortment and selection! I didn't even check out the antiques area, I was too busy walking through the aisles and aisles of books and magazines!
I'll be back.

Loved this place! It has an eclectic selection of treasures. It was a fun to poke around. There were some good deals. Some of their stuff was overpriced. It's definitely worth a stop.

I adore this place. If you're really into historic books and magazines this place is for you. I can spend hours pouring over old issues of women's magazines for here. Everything is well labeled and organized, the place is huge though.

This place is really worth a visit. We enjoyed spending time just looking at the enormous variety of things they have. Weather you buy something or not i recommend the stop!
