Featuring a variety of dealers conveniently beneath one giant roof, there's no telling what you'll find if you pop in for a visit. From eclectic novelty items to collectibles and rare antiques, perusing the stalls and aisles is a true treasure hunt. With flea markets monthly, there are even more opportunities to buy or sell a hidden gem.

Only a fool would think that beaches and cool ocean waves are the only natural wonders Autumn Grove has to offer. Exploring miles of forest trails, setting up a rustic campsite, and fishing in the park's resplendent lake are just a few activities available to those looking for recreation away from the beach.

Following the events of 2020 and 2021, and given the magical nature of the forests within the town, special care has been taken to guarantee the safety and welfare of all those exploring the town's sprawling state park.

Located at the center of Autumn Grove, this area features a variety of high end shops, specialty boutiques, and galleries. While these streets lack the same kitschy charm found in the more tourist-oriented areas of Autumn Grove, exploring Cherry Blossom Square is guaranteed to make for a perfect afternoon.

A relatively new addition to Autumn Grove, Brewed Awakening brings craft coffee to a town otherwise running on Dunkin. There's an obvious pride to the way coffee is sourced and ground fresh in-store, but the quiet rivalry that has developed between this small shop and its nationwide competitor is as interesting to locals as the story of the coffeebeans is to tourists.

Hiking through the forest, several people disappear. Only one returns to town, panicked and shrieking, desperately convinced their friends were walking on a bridge when it suddenly collapsed. Townsfolk return to the forest with the sole survivor, in search of the victims. They find a bridge, sturdy and whole, and nothing else. Nobody else. The story has been told several times throughout Autumn Grove's history. But it's just a legend. The bridge in the woods exists, standing strong, not collapsed at all, so the story, seemingly repeating itself every few decades, is nothing but fantasy. Right?

Talk about getting lucky on Valentine's Day. The Watch needed a proper headquarters, sure, but it also needed a moat. Sorry Neil. The Chateau has been fixed up since it was originally won by Casey Declan, and all (most) of the fae boobytraps have been sorted out by now. In addition to emergency shelter during times of crisis, the Chateau, conveniently located on the Island, provides ample space for training (both physical and magical), meetings, and (recently, but perhaps most notably?) the official home of the Autumn Grove Starlings. After all, the children are the future, right?

Every coastal town in New England is convinced its beaches are the region's loveliest. Autumn Grove is no exception; its residents are fast to claim their beaches are the most beautiful and varied, with rocky coves, sandy stretches, and secluded hideaways with waters so blue, you'd swear you were transported to a tropical retreat. Aging locals warn against visiting Circle Beach at night, but since the return of magic, residents are far less likely to scoff at these warnings. The waters here are home to a great many sirens, and none of them are swayed by grilled cheese. At least they're only bothersome after dark.

Whether you're looking for a quick bite after a long day on the water or you're searching for the very best fried cod in town, this classic seafood shack is calling your name. The freshest catches are served up daily, and patrons can easily enjoy their meal as they stroll along the water, or take a seat in the covered dockside picnic area - just in case they have room for a second helping.

Old buildings with stunning architecture have been given new life in Common Village, offering spacious dwellings to those wishing for local convenience without willing to give up an apartment lifestyle. Positioned between the bustle of Ravenwood and the quiet charm of Star Hill, these converted apartments offer a lovely middle ground for those looking to settle in the town.

Though these cottages aren't directly on the water like some other lodging options, they're close enough to offer views of the lighthouses that still stand along Autumn Grove's shores.

Cottage guests need only step outside to treat themselves to a serene view of the lighthouses shining nearby. A short walk down the lane offers spectacular views overlooking the water, with only the occasional sea monster spotting.

The Deluca family has had an important role in Autumn Grove's fishing industry for over a century, and residents are fiercely loyal as a result, buying fish and lobsters straight from the source. In fact, the demand for prepared options was so popular and widespread throughout the town, the Delucas had no choice but to open a food counter. Now, in addition to buying fresh lobsters ready to cook at home, visitors can order lobster rolls and other seafood delights to enjoy as they watch the fishing boats come in off the water.

Autumn Grove is no exception; its residents are fast to claim their beaches are the most beautiful and varied, with rocky coves, sandy stretches, and secluded hideaways with waters so blue, you'd swear you were transported to a tropical retreat. It's said the clear waters of Echo Beach sometimes wash odd trinkets onto the shore, old items of mysterious origin best left untouched. On occasion, orphan mermaids may also wash up. Allegedly. Who knows.

The key to a good beer: keep it simple. That's the mission statement at 8 Bells. Established in 1994, this craft brewery sticks to small batches and local sources, and the results are undeniable. From classic ales and stouts to barleywine-style brews finished with seasonal berries or fruits, 8 Bells has a beer for you.

The appeal of Ravenwood does not always come with a reasonable price tag, something Albert Avery set to remedy as the town rallied to rebuild following the Battle for Autumn Grove. With that goal in mind, Fairview Gardens was designed and built. Considering their size, the apartments are all affordable, with tall windows and hardwood floors, courtyard balconies and enclosed sunrooms. The central courtyard allows for gardening and barbecues, one resident uses part of the roof for amateur beekeeping, and since Albert is quite literally always fostering dogs, the apartments are very much pet friendly. Mind the shuffling drunk old man, and who wouldn't want to live here?

Committed to enrichment through the arts, Autumn Grove's performance center presents spectacular events year round, spanning all styles of music and dance. This small performance hall offers all the intimacy of a private performance without sacrificing any of the quality of larger venues. From summer music festivals to seasonal dance showcases, the exciting roster of performers keeps visitors coming time and time again!

It is very rare for the main hall's stunning oceanfront windows to showcase sea battles. That was probably just the one time.

Probably.

If any establishment in Autumn Grove is going to stand out as a Locals Only retreat, it's The Hook. Dimly lit, with a limited menu and an unspoken rule that mixed drinks will never be served on the polished wooden bar, this tavern hasn't changed in the decades it has been open.

Those looking to venture into the state park can find many guides to help in their journey, detailing not just the trails, but the specific areas of the forest as well. No official guide makes mention of The Forgotten Grove, however. This grouping of trees is odd, twisted and older than anything immediately nearby. Few have seen these trees. Few who have returned from the forest, anyway. Since magic's return, people at least know to be cautious where the forests are concerned.

Do you know what books are? Do you know what rare means? Yes, the word can now mean a few things other than uncommon, thanks to magic. But the sign above the door says what it says. What else must you know?

Oh, business hours? Whenever someone shows up for work. Ask the mayor.

Along with many of the town's larger homes, this store is one of the oldest buildings in Autumn Grove, and it has served the community as a general store since its construction. Originally doubling as a town meeting hall, the mercantile continues to offer a wide range of goods to citizens and tourists alike, though its days of town gatherings might be behind it.

There are wedding venues, and then there's Graycliff Retreat. Consistently voted as one of the top ten venues on the eastern seaboard, Graycliff is a dream destination, no matter the wedding you have in mind. From ceremonies by the sea to elegant receptions in one of three historic on-site buildings, there's no finer backdrop for your perfect event.

Just ask anyone attending the 2020 Jazz Gala: a sea monster might have attacked, but damn was the event spectacular.

Parked at the curb in front of The Irish Goodbye, the truck sells grilled cheese. That's it. The cheeses vary, but they're always $1, except during peak drunk hours, when they are $1.

At a glance, this bar is nothing to write home about. Small and presented as just another hole in the wall, The Irish Goodbye is worth a second look. The bar menu is extensive and the cocktails are noteworthy, but it's that seemingly ordinary ambiance that sets it apart from the trendier tourist bars or local dives standard to Autumn Grove. Plus there's a sandbox off the outdoor patio area, and for some strange reason, a hatchet throwing range? Drink responsibly.

First appearing in October of 2020, the Island is a landscape of impossibilities, dripping in powerful and unbelievable magic. Accessible via mysterious ferry, the Island is as dangerous as it is beautiful, but more often than not, the bold are rewarded for the risks they choose to take.

Autumn Grove's very own botanical garden is a treat for all occasions. Whether you're after a tranquil afternoon appreciating nature or looking for the perfect venue for your upcoming special event, the options are limitless.

With the resurgence of magic, the garden's collections have expanded to include far more than just your standard roses and violets. And with that expanding variety has come an increased demand for more spectacular sights. The Vine Incident was, as the owners have stated across social media, a brief mishap that will not be repeated.

Perhaps even more curious than the Island, the Library is but also is not situated in Autumn Grove. Accessible through the town's original library, the magical archive obeys laws of its own making.

Autumn Grove has three lighthouses along its shores, with a rich history of guiding sailors home and helping them find their way. But some wonder: why three? For a town this size, three seems like a lot. Surely history has simply lost a perfectly logical explanation. It couldn't be that the lighthouses were built not to protect sailors from the shores, but to protect the shores from something else.

Originally opened in 1971, the small market has expanded over the years and now operates year round. Over sixty stalls are now found within the Beaver Street building, offering seasonal produce, dairy products, meats, artisanal baked goods, and seafood, as well as many other local products.

The Myrthian is the local independent theater, colloquially known as The Myrth. You'll have to go out of town to see the next Avenger, but the Myrth is usually playing 2 recent releases and 2 themed movies depending on the day of the week. They serve sandwiches and other snacks during the week and a rotating dinner menu on weekends.

Open for breakfast and lunch, this cafe offers casual dining with a side of coastal charm. Come for a smoothie or a seasonal breakfast platter, or try one of the Catch of the Day lunch specials.

Originally built as a summer cottage, this sprawling Victorian manor was divided into two separate homes when the original owner decided he would prefer ocean views from his porch. Too large to move in one piece, the entire property was split and then relocated.

Today, the home stands as two rival inns, owned by siblings Pnina Shasha (nee Sanderson) and Wesley Sanderson. Their feud is something of local legend, as are the mysterious and haunting tales attached to the properties.

The old well fell into obsolescence ages ago, yet it remains today, tucked away in the woods. Now and then, locals wonder why it isn't simply filled in; only a few remember the attempts to do just that. Attempts that never worked.

A sign is posted: Please Do Not Throw Coins. This was never meant to be a wishing well. The coins contaminate the water, logic says. What other explanation is there? It isn't possible that wishes have come true. Magic isn't real.

(Yes it is, we all know this now, whatever's down there is RUDE. Don't give it coins.)

An Autumn Grove staple since 1951, the stand was established by Francis Walsh and originally sold just hot dogs. The dogs are still fried in peanut oil, but the menu has expanded over the years to include fries, chili, homemade pickles, birch beer, and a true classic, frosted mugs of buttermilk.

It all started with the view. When The Promenade was converted from a private home into a restaurant, it was the sight of sunset over the water that inspired the decision. From there came the restaurant's unique approach to operating hours: each day, the restaurant opens for a sunrise breakfast service, then remains closed until reopening for sunset dinners. The motive behind this is simple: diners deserve not only the best food, but also the very best views.

The Ripe Plum was originally designed and built by Ruth and Ivan Belleville, childhood sweethearts who always dreamed of running their very own inn. The two toiled for years before that dream became a reality, and they ran the B&B for nearly fifty years. It then passed to their oldest daughter, and has been in the family for over two hundred years.

Guests say the inn is haunted by some of the friendliest ghosts they've ever encountered. This is quite literally true. A malicious spirit attempted to terrorize the guests staying at the inn last October, and his efforts were thwarted by well-meaning granny ghosts who drove him off with a small army of spectral cats.

Start your morning right with a fresh croissant and a hot cup of tea, or satisfy your sweet tooth with one of the many pastries baked daily. Showcasing everything from bread to macarons, and most baked goods in between, visiting this French bakery is a must!

Recently under new management, Sconehenge seems to be steering more towards patisserie and celebration cakes by order. There's an emphasis on seasonal flavours and high quality production, and less and less bread to be found.

Boasting stunning views of the bay, the distance from downtown Autumn Grove is hardly a deterrent for most people craving life by the sea without having the deep pockets to dive straight into Wisteria Park.

Every coastal town in New England is convinced its beaches are the region's loveliest. Autumn Grove is no exception; its residents are fast to claim their beaches are the most beautiful and varied, with rocky coves, sandy stretches, and secluded hideaways with waters so blue, you'd swear you were transported to a tropical retreat. The heart-shaped pebbles common to Shoal Bay are a perfect souvenir for tourists. Has anybody asked why they're shaped like hearts though? Hm.

Artful hotel bar, hold the hotel. That was the vibe the owner of this hip bar was going for when the doors were first opened over five years ago. While some might say you're paying more for ambiance than anything else, the craft cocktail menu is impressive, as is the limited menu available at the bar. Old favorites are given new life with creative twists and fresh additions, and that makes an evening at The Sidecar worth the price tag.

In the aftermath of the battle for Autumn Grove, The Sidecar has had a bit of a makeover. The faerie management and influx of faerie clientele means it's been the Seelie venue of choice when visiting town. There's now a large blossom tree growing in the main bar as well as ever-blooming flowers outside and inside, and rumour has it that fae make dodgy deals in the back room. Reports of them serving faerie wine are yet to be proven.

Below Timeless Tunes is a larger venue: Smooth. Smooth is generally a jazz lounge and bar, but the venue is very open to other musicians or artists to rent the space for a generously low price. It is a great venue for parties as Samuel is more about comfort than cost; Smooth has even been known to host events for free, though this is rare because money's gotta be made. As with TT's, Smooth holds a general ‘take another look' mentality. If the drink or snack you wanted isn't on the menu? Look again, it might just be there now. Samuel hires and strives to create a very relaxing escape (read: oasis) for people at Smooth, and he will not tolerate anything less. Smooth is a haven, a shelter, and he will maintain that.

The first reported case of an unusual set of stairs in Autumn Grove was in 1963. Hikers noted that they felt a weird energy around them as if full of dread. When they returned to the spot where they remembered seeing the stairs, the structure was gone. Since then, it is not uncommon to stumble across a staircase leading to nowhere. They're usually made of brick or iron in varying heights. Most of the reports of the moving staircases, which have been largely dismissed as pranks by local schoolchildren, coincide with places where people have gone missing, died, or claim to have witnessed paranormal events.

When tourists flock to the town in the summer and fall, it is never a surprise to see them wandering the sidewalks of Star Hill, pointing and gawking at the histoic colonials that line the neighborhood's streets. Though hardly the most affluent area of town, Star Hill draws the biggest crowds for its arcitecture and style, as well as its deep roots in the town's history. The oldest homes here were built around what was, at its founding, Autumn Grove's town square.

The little house at the end of the watery dock has stood empty for years, the small lighthouse unused. Bigger lighthouses protect Autumn Grove's shores, after all. But the buildings are a favorite of local youth, who explore the dusty stairs and the cobwebbed rooms, climbing the lighthouse to the top. Young adults tend to sneak there at night, with bottles of cheap liquor and the giddy excitement of rebellion. The lighthouse is not decrepit enough to be a true danger; the dock, though… Many have slipped. Drowned. It's a tragedy, really. Nothing more nefarious than that. Just a tragedy.

No quaint seaside town is complete without a traditional candy store, and Autumn Grove's is truly a dream come true for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Timeless Tunes, sometimes called TT's, is a small little record store that always seems to somehow have what you're wanting to hear, even if you're not certain yourself. The general motto of the business is 'take another look', as in, if you think you didn't see the artist you're looking for, taking another look might prove that it has magically just appeared! Think of TT's as an in person version of spotify; it's a good place to start with a genre or a song and see what else you might find in relation to it.

Of all the moorings in Autumn Grove, none have inspired more childish tales than Tuna Wharf. For years, children have claimed to see something huge lurking in the water. Generation after generation of kids find their way to the water here, offering up bread for their unseen nautical friend. It's nothing more than a local legend, imaginations running wild. Any adult will tell you as much. The water around the wharf has no sealife to speak of, in fact, let alone something massive!

Many years ago, this area of the town was bursting with wisteria plants. The purple flowering vines were seen everywhere. But the waterfront views were far too desirable to leave to nature alone. And so the first sprawling manor was built in Autumn Grove, and eventually, the residents of the budding neighborhood decided to keep the name, but not the flowers.

What else can we say about the wealthy?
