Buggy Days Antiques is located in Seneca, Kansas, in the northeast corner of the state. The store is located in a historic building, which for the past sixty years housed the Luebbe family hardware store. Owner, Jolene Holthaus, has turned her ancestors' hardware store into an interesting antique collection.

Buggy Days, nestled on the quaint main street of a small, down-home town, boasts a wide variety of interesting and unique antiques and collectibles. The store setting and its contents are reminiscent of days of old.

The lot where Buggy Days presently sits  was purchased in 1859 by Samual Lappin  from  the Seneca Town Company.  Around 1885 a hardware and buggy shop was built  under the ownership of George G. Willams. 

A. L. L. Scoville owned the store in the  late 1800s. Ray Eley bought the building  and business in 1929. He sold out to John  Luebbe in September of 1944 and was know as "Luebbe's Hardware"  

Norman Luebbe, Son of John Luebbe returned from the service in 1946 and started work in the hardware store.  John Luebbe died in 1951, and his wife Nellie and Norman operated the  story until Norman purchased it in 1960. 

Norman added  heating and plumbing to the business as well  as operating the store.  He also  had a tin shop on the third floor. 

The  business  was sold to his daughter, Jolene  and her husband  Roger Holthaus in 1993.   At this time the Business was named "Buggy Days" and now sells antiques and collectibles.  

Store  open Wednesday,  Thursday and Friday .

Store hours from 9:00 am  to 4:00 pm.
