RE-CONNECTING HUMANS TO HISTORY
The transformation of one couple's dream into a reality.
MEET THE WEITNAUERS
Jill's Handpicked Treasures is a family-owned antique store, that was the dream of John and his wife, Jill, who married in 1984. Over the years, John and Jill collected a variety of antiques and their home became like a museum as it displayed their priceless treasures. John and Jill strived hard to make their dream of a small antique shop a reality and they were close to achieving this goal when the unthinkable happened. In December 2021, Jill passed away due to covid, leaving John and his family with a great loss and the challenge of continuing their dream.
John and his kids continued to work hard, and in December 2022, they finally fulfilled Jill and John's dream of opening the antique store. Today you can visit us in the heart of the United States, in downtown Hannibal, Missouri. At Jill's Handpicked Treasures, you can find unique items from all over the world, each piece hand picked by our family and vendors. We hope that these items bring you as much joy and happiness as we experience in finding them for you. We hope that the antiques we provide will offer you a glimpse into the past and remind you of memories long forgotten or places forever cherished.
​
Although our time on this earth is fleeting, we cherish each moment we have together. We hope that Jill's Handpicked Treasures will be as much a blessing to you as it has been to our family.
In Loving Memory of Mary "Jill" Weitnauer
