Each spring and fall, there’s a special kind of magic that fills Green Mill Village. Arcola comes alive with history, artistry, and community as the Country Spirit Antique Show opens its doors. Known across the Midwest as a premier antique destination, this event draws collectors, vendors, and curious visitors from near and far—all searching for one-of-a-kind treasures and a weekend steeped in small-town charm.

Where Tradition Meets Hospitality

Held at the Green Mill Village Hotel & Suites, the antique show transforms our space into a bustling celebration of craftsmanship. From vintage furniture and folk art to heirloom textiles and early Americana, every aisle tells a story curated by some of the country’s most respected antique dealers.


What makes the experience truly special, though, is where it happens. Green Mill Village provides everything guests and exhibitors need—convenience, comfort, and a sense of community—all under one roof.


Easy Access and Thoughtful Amenities

Located just off I-57 and Highway 133, the event center is easy to reach for travelers, tour groups, and local guests alike. With ample space, the show accommodates vendors and visitors comfortably, letting everyone focus on the joy of discovery.


Guests can stay steps away where spacious rooms, modern amenities, and friendly service ensure a restful night after a full day of exploring the show. And with nearby dining, local shops, and the charm of downtown Arcola just minutes away, visitors can enjoy a full weekend experience—antiquing, dining, and exploring all in one trip.


More Than a Market—A Community Celebration

The Country Spirit Antique Show isn’t just about antiques—it’s about connection. Each event brings hundreds of visitors into Arcola, supporting local tourism and showcasing the region’s rich traditions and artistry.


For me, hosting the show at Green Mill Village has always been about more than providing a venue—it’s about bringing people together. Every booth, every conversation, and every shared smile fills the campus with energy, creativity, and community spirit. It’s a reminder of why Arcola is known for its warmth, pride, and sense of belonging.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or simply love the thrill of discovery, this spring tradition is one you won’t want to miss.

When I look around Green Mill Village today, I don’t just see buildings—I see lives being built, connections being made, and opportunities coming to life. From the very beginning, my hope was to create a place where people could live, work, visit, and grow together. Every corner of this multi-use campus in Arcola, Illinois, reflects that idea: a thoughtful blend of services, amenities, and genuine care.
