The Connecticut River Valley Antiques & Historic Homes Show is just three weeks from now. The main event is the antiques show, with 30 great dealers from New England, Florida, New York & New Jersey, offering a wide variety of antiques and art that will include furniture, decorative and folk art, ceramics, and so much more. There is also the historic homes component which will feature programming curated for the owners of antique homes with exhibits and presentations by experts including stonework craftsman, window restorationists, preservation architect, and garden designer who will share their know how and experiences on working on local historic properties.
The keynote speaker for the weekend will be Lee McColgan, author of A House Restored, The Tragedies and Triumphs of Saving a New England Colonial at 1:00 pm on Sunday, October 20. Mr. McColgan has worked on Boston’s Old North Church, Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House, and other buildings. His work has appeared in Architectural Digest, Boston Globe, and the Wall Street Journal. He can be found on Instagram at helvehistorictrades.
The show will also feature a “roundtable” of historic homeowners who will share their experiences of loving and living in an antique house. The panel will be led by Higganum’s own Rebecca Lineberry whose restoration efforts and love for antique homes have been featured in the New York Times, ICRV radio and various internet media outlets. Rebecca has recently worked on a colonial period house in Mystic which was filmed for Magnolia Network’s “In With the Old”. Rebecca can be found on Instagram at my_1755_story.
Hours of the show are 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday, Oct 19, and 11 am to 4 pm on Sunday, Oct 20. Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased at the door or in advance at www.haddamhistory.org.
