Past To Present is a unique vintage and antique shop in the village of Niantic, a hidden gem on the Connecticut Shoreline. It is filled with furniture from all genres, home accessories, old tools, hardware, rugs, art, and a famous dollar room. The place is endless, with room after room after room of stuff, offering four rooms of curated goods and collections. There is a lot more going on than your first thoughts upon entering, so keep going towards the back to discover more. It is a great antique store with very reasonable prices. There is a huge dollar room and a room full of two-dollar records. Visitors can score a bunch of awesome finds for a very reasonable price. The friendly staff provides helpful services for estates and collections. While not everyone will find something on their thrifting journey, it is a visual experience from the shop front to the backyard, with endless things to look at and bins to dig through. It is worth popping in to discover this one-of-a-kind spot.
This is my go-to spot when I need something specific for my home or if I am just browsing to see what treasures I will stumble across. Highly recommend!

I’ve made some very exceptional purchases at this shop and got very good deals on the things I bought. One was an antique china closet, and the other was an Eastlake platform rocking chair! The owner is so nice and I love that the place is huge and sprawling❣️ I highly recommend this antique shop🙌🏽
