The Elephant’s Trunk Country Flea Market began in 1976. The first markets found aisles named after New York City streets or alley-ways. The market was always held on Sundays, and in 1976, the presence of fifteen vendors was considered a “big” day!
The market in those early years found dealers set up on the lawn in front of the 19th century Victorian house, which faces onto Route 7. Over 40 years, this local secret has become a popular New England tradition for people seeking a truly authentic experience. Typical Sundays feature over 500 vendors and an ever-changing mixture of food trucks from all over the east coast.
No two weekends are alike, always a different mix of vendors, merchandise and food. Everyone is always welcome to participate as a buyer or a vendor and that is what makes this non-exclusive marketplace so unique…you just never know what types of treasures are waiting on the field.
Awareness has increased significantly over the last few years as the Elephant’s Trunk has been featured in multiple seasons of Flea Market Flip™. People recognize that they have things they want to sell, projects they want to make and collections they need to add too. The Trunk meets all their needs and is just a fascinating experience. Please join us on any Sunday from April through December. We guarantee you’ll be a fan of the Trunk for years to come.
