43rd Antiques Show to benefit county museum
NORWICH – The Chenango County Historical Society (CCHS) will host its 43rd annual Antiques Show from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 1 at the Chenango County Fairgrounds.
“A Labor Day weekend tradition, this show is a great place to find that next piece for your collection,” said event organizer John Antonowicz. “Shop our dealers selling everything from figurines to furniture, glassware to toys, and household items to paper ephemera – plus everything in-between. There are ‘treasures’ to be discovered for everyone.”
Hungry shoppers can choose from Poppy's Food Truck, Gilligan’s ice cream, and home-baked treats.
Admission to the antiques shows is $4 with all proceeds going to support the mission of CCHS.
First established in 1939, CCHS received an absolute charter in 1956. Ward School No. 2 was acquired in 1958 with renovations beginning immediately. Since reopening as a museum in 1962, Ward School No. 2 has been the home of the CCHS for more than five decades. The campus has expanded greatly since then, with the acquisition of the one-room Ross Schoolhouse (Preston), Loomis Barn (Tyner), a maple sugar house, and the Chenango Canal building, home to packet boat model the “Lillie.”
The only organization dedicated to actively and comprehensively preserving the history of Chenango County, CCHS celebrates local culture – unique traditions, noteworthy residents, and unusual stories. Museum visitors are immersed in the center of Chenango County’s past through exhibits exploring the rich history of the local region.
Admission to the museum is a free-will donation left up to each visitor's discretion, and approximately 75 percent of CCHS’ public programming is offered free of charge. The organization is able to remain a sustainable resource thanks to the tremendous support of the community.
CCHS summer hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. For more information, call 334-9227 or visit www.Facebook.com/ChenangoHist.
