A run of primitive cupboards came in this morning — one with the original milk paint, one with scalloped trim, one that looks like it came out of a barn last week. All three in the front room…

The Parsonage
Antiques & More
Everything from small kitchen items to pieces of larger furniture — nine rooms, ten dealers, one historic house on Main Street.
Wed–Sun · 11 am – 5 pm · 31 S Main St, Mullica Hill
I · The House
A Methodist parsonage,
still keeping house.
Built in 1895 as the parsonage of Trinity United Methodist Church, 31 South Main Street has kept its original woodwork, its narrow stairs, and the quiet rhythm of a home that has seen five generations come and go.
The Methodist congregation long ago moved to a larger church on Cedar Road, and the old parsonage turned its attention to a new kind of stewardship. Today the rooms are full again — not with a minister’s family, but with pieces a dozen dealers have collected from estate sales, farmhouses, and attics across South Jersey and beyond. The house has simply traded one kind of stewardship for another.
Step through the front door and the first thing you notice is the light. Tall windows, high ceilings, wide-plank floors that have been creaking for one hundred and thirty years. It is the kind of building that makes old things look even more beautiful.
II · The Village
A whole town on the
National Register.
Mullica Hill’s Main Street is a stretch of the old Bridgeton Pike, which followed a Lenape trail toward the coast and was one of the few roads shown on 18th-century maps of West Jersey. Quaker families settled the ridges south of Raccoon Creek in the 1700s; the Friends Meetinghouse from 1808 still sits at 2 North Main, and Mullica Hill Quakers were later part of the Underground Railroad.
In 1991 the whole village — 136 contributing structures, mostly 18th and 19th century — was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and the New Jersey State Register. Today nearly three dozen antique shops line the street, many housed in buildings roughly as old as their wares. The Parsonage is one of them, and arguably the one with the longest doorsill.
III · What you’ll find
Nine rooms,
each with its own mood.
Every room is curated by a different dealer, so every doorway changes the century. Inventory rotates constantly — repeat visits almost always turn up something that wasn’t there the week before.
01
Antique Furniture
Primitive cupboards, farmhouse tables, rocking chairs, sturdy dressers that have survived several generations, and the occasional hand-painted side table.
02
Kitchen & Table
Stoneware and ironstone, transferware and Depression glass, enamelware mixing bowls, egg beaters, cast-iron trivets, and porcelain that still earns its keep.
03
Linens & Textiles
Quilts, embroidered pillowcases, crocheted table runners, hooked rugs, lace-trimmed linens — most in genuinely good condition, which is the hard part.
04
Vintage Jewelry
Costume and fine, Victorian through mid-century. The kind of thing you slip into a pocket and are still thinking about a week later.
05
Ephemera & Signs
Old postcards, framed advertisements, Saturday Evening Post prints, wooden signs, advertising tins, and racing-and-riding memorabilia.
06
Garden & Salvage
Iron gates, weathered planters, carved stone, reclaimed architectural hardware, antique brackets — the outdoor counterpart to the indoor rooms.
IV · From the archives
The shop’s own
printed invitation.
A magazine advertisement the shop ran in the summer of 2017, a few years into life at Main Street. The wordmark hasn’t changed since.
“Featuring everything from small kitchen items to pieces of larger furniture. The Parsonage has something for all antique enthusiasts.”
V · Latest from Facebook
What the shop is
up to this week.
Barbara posts new arrivals, seasonal schedule notes, and the occasional estate-sale haul on Facebook. Once the shop’s page is connected, the three most recent posts will appear right here, refreshed hourly.
Open this Sunday 11–5 as usual, and we’ll have fresh coffee going. Sheryl just restocked her room with vintage jewelry — come have a look before it all walks out the door.

VII · The Proprietor
Run by Barbara Vag.
The Parsonage is a women-owned shop run by Barbara Vag, who oversees the co-op’s ten dealers and keeps the kettle on for visitors. Fellow Mullica Hill business owners recommend her on Alignable, and in July 2025 she was the thirteenth subject of the Main Street merchants’ interview series, Movin’ Down Main Street.
Stop in on a quiet weekday and you’ll usually find her near the front of the house with a cup of coffee and a story about whichever piece you just picked up. Snacks and a fresh pot are often on the counter. That is, reliably, the best advertisement the shop could ever run.
