Sutton & Sons Antiques: Preserving Appalachian History One Antique at a Time

Home / Waynesville / Sutton and Sons

For more than four decades, Sutton & Sons Antiques has been a fixture in downtown Waynesville. It offers more than furniture and collectibles — it offers a living connection to Appalachian history.

A family legacy

Founded by the Sutton family, the shop grew from a passion for preserving the tools, crafts, and heirlooms that tell the story of mountain life.

Why antiques matter

Antiques in Appalachia are practical reminders of self-reliance and craftsmanship. A butter churn or quilt isn’t just décor; it’s a story of survival and ingenuity.

A draw for visitors

Waynesville attracts tourists for its mountain culture, and Sutton & Sons is often on their list. Visitors leave with tangible pieces of history.

Preserving, not just selling

The Sutton family sees themselves as stewards of Appalachian heritage. Each item carries a story, and in telling it, they preserve Western NC’s identity.
