Celebrating a Historic Tenant: New Bedford Antiques at the Cove

by | Aug 12, 2025

At Kilburn Mill, our community is made up of an incredible variety of tenants—artists, small businesses, and local treasures that bring life and character to our historic waterfront property. Few embody that spirit more than New Bedford Antiques at the Cove, a beloved destination that has been part of the Mill for over 16 years.

Reuniting You with Memories

Located in the South End of historic New Bedford, New Bedford Antiques at the Cove is more than a marketplace—it’s a journey through time. Spread across 1.5 acres, the space is home to dozens of unique dealers offering everything from books, furniture, and clothing to jewelry, toys, and collectibles. Every visit promises something unexpected, whether it’s your great-grandmother’s dish set, your childhood toy, or the perfect vintage piece to make your house feel like home.

A Destination for Locals and Visitors

Just a short Sunday drive from Cape Cod and minutes from the Martha’s Vineyard Ferry, the shop is as much a part of the South Coast experience as the beaches and fishing piers. Visitors are encouraged to grab a coffee, stroll the aisles, and discover the eclectic mix of styles and eras represented by their network of dealers.

A Cornerstone of the Kilburn Mill Community

As one of Kilburn Mill’s most established tenants, New Bedford Antiques at the Cove adds an irreplaceable layer of charm and cultural richness to our property. Their dedication to preserving history, connecting people with meaningful finds, and supporting a community of local dealers aligns perfectly with our mission of fostering creativity, commerce, and community.

If you haven’t visited yet, now is the perfect time to explore. Who knows—you might just leave with a piece of history in your hands.
