Founded in July 2022, August is an antique and home decor boutique housed in a former 1800s railway depot in the heart of Petoskey’s Downtown District right off Pennsylvania Park.
We feature spirited collections of antique folk art, primitive furniture, oil paintings, pottery, textiles, and curiosities from all over the world. We also carry new and bespoke home décor and womenswear pieces from artisans and like-minded brands who value simplicity, purity of form, new perspectives, and above all else, the beauty of the handmade.
In October 2024, Maggie acquired August, bringing her deep love for Petoskey and its history to the store. A longtime local of 20 years, Maggie is passionate about design, storytelling, and the tight-knit community that makes this town special. She starts her day at the hospital, but when she leaves the OR, you’ll find her treasure hunting—always seeking pieces that keep you curious and coming back for more.
We like to think of August as a community space to gather, have a chat, and relish together in the quiet beauty of uncommon objects. If you’re in the neighborhood, stop by and say hello.
