Spoil ‘Em With Pretties From Historic Camp Bowie Mercantile — The Best Kept Secret on Camp Bowie Historic Camp Bowie Mercantile was founded by Fort Worth busi- nessman and philanthropist Holt Hickman, opening the doors in March of 2007. His dream was to have an antique mall for the masses to enjoy. After his death, his family decided to carry on the tradition that he started by maintaining the history of the place while allowing people to buy what they want to buy. Originally starting as a tradi- tional antique mall, this open-air marketplace, now known as “The Mercantile”, has evolved to a real mercantile that offers over 200 dealer booths with an impressive collection of gifts, home décor, antiques, fash- ion, furniture and more under one roof. This one stop shop is the perfect place to do all your holiday shop- ping, a place where you can shop and eat, and may not see everything in the day. They are also a perfect place to buy a gift for the millen- nial in your life. Trying to focus on a younger demographic, The Mercantile has brought in a lot of vendors, changing the aesthetic of the location. They also added two men’s stores for the picky man in your life.
