Southern Iowa Junk Journey

Grab your map and hit the backroads—it's time to go junkin' across Appanoose, Lucas, Monroe, and Wayne Counties! The Southern Iowa Junk Journey is a self-guided adventure through barns, boutiques, pop-up markets, and roadside gems packed with antiques, repurposed treasures, and handmade finds. Whether you're a seasoned picker or just love the thrill of the hunt, this 150-mile loop offers one-of-a-kind shopping, scenic fall views, and the kind of small-town hospitality that makes every stop unforgettable.
It’s not just about the junk—it’s about the journey.
