The Silver Spur sits inside a striking 7,000-square-foot log cabin at 18654 Marshall Street in Garfield, Arkansas, a small Benton County community along the route many travelers take between Northwest Arkansas and destinations like Eureka Springs and Branson, Missouri. The building itself, extensively renovated before the shop opened in April 2023, gives The Silver Spur a distinctive rustic setting rarely matched by a typical strip-mall antique store, and the property extends outdoors as well, where rustic furniture and primitives are displayed for shoppers who want to browse beyond four walls. Owners Vince and Carla Tate bring real experience to the venture, having previously built The Copper Crown antique mall in downtown Rogers before turning their attention to this newer Garfield location.
Inside, The Silver Spur offers what the owners describe as a diverse collection of unique finds, vintage treasures, rare collectibles, and one-of-a-kind pieces, sourced both from the Tates directly and from a roster of 28 vendor partners who each bring their own specialty and eye for sourcing. That vendor-mall structure is part of what gives the shop its range: rather than a single owner’s taste dictating the entire inventory, dozens of independent sourcing decisions combine into a sales floor that covers furniture, glassware, jewelry, primitives, and smaller collectibles across a wide span of eras and styles. For collectors with narrow interests and casual browsers alike, that breadth means a visit rarely feels repetitive, and regulars often find the mix has shifted meaningfully between trips.
The shop keeps regular hours that make it easy to plan a visit: Monday through Friday from 10 am to 5 pm, Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm, and Sunday from noon to 5 pm, giving both weekday locals and weekend travelers passing through on their way to or from Branson or Eureka Springs a reliable window to stop in. A resident shop cat named Cowboy adds a bit of local color and has become something of a fixture for regular visitors, the kind of small detail that turns a routine antiquing stop into a place people remember and mention to friends.
Garfield’s location along a well-traveled regional corridor gives The Silver Spur a built-in mix of destination shoppers making a special trip and pass-through travelers who spot the log cabin building and decide to stop. That combination has helped the shop establish itself quickly since opening, building on the reputation the Tates already carried from their years running The Copper Crown. For anyone road-tripping through the Ozarks between Northwest Arkansas and Missouri’s tourist towns, or simply looking for a well-organized antique mall with a genuinely distinctive setting, The Silver Spur offers both quality merchandise and a memorable stop along the way.
