54th Lebanon Annual Outdoor Antiques Show
on the Lebanon Green
Routes 207 & 87
Lebanon, CT
Saturday, September 25, 9 am to 3 pm
LEBANON, CONN. — For more than half a century, rain or shine, antiques dealers and collectors gather on the Green in Lebanon. Once a common sight in Connecticut towns, outdoor antiques shows are now almost gone from the landscape. The show on the Lebanon Green offers a bit of nostalgia for everyone. Now in its 54th year, the Lebanon Historical Society’s Outdoor Antiques Show is open 9 am to 3 pm on Saturday, September 25.
Up to 60 dealers will offer antiques and collectibles to buyers who come from around the state and throughout southern New England. The event started in 1966 as a money-making effort to fund society programs and, eventually, to help pay for the land needed to build a museum. Today, the antiques show is still the historical society’s largest and most important fundraising event with proceeds supporting school programs, exhibits and historical presentations.
Some dealers have been participating for many years, but new-to-the-field dealers are added every year. Visitors can expect to find everything from Eighteenth Century furniture to vintage tools and from traditional pottery to textiles, glassware and jewelry.
For the $5 admission fee, visitors can spend the day wandering the field, talking with dealers and finding a bargain. Lunch and snacks are available for purchase all day, including homemade chowders, sandwiches, grilled burgers and hot dogs, and visitors can end it all with a slice of homemade pie.
Conducted rain or shine. Parking is free. For more information, www.historyoflebanon.org or 860-642-6579.
