It’s a tradition, fall colors, antiques, chowder and pie all enjoyed outside on the historic Lebanon Green
as the Lebanon Historical Society celebrates 56 years of its outdoor antique show.
For more than half a century, rain or shine, antique dealers and collectors gather on the Green in Lebanon, CT.
Once a common sight in Connecticut towns, outdoor antique shows are now almost gone from the landscape.
The show on the Lebanon Green offers a bit of nostalgia for everyone.
Now in its 57th year, the Lebanon Historical Society’s Outdoor Antique Show
is open 9:00 to 3:00 on Saturday, September 28th, 2024.
Up to 60 dealers will offer antiques and high-quality 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 Antique Show is still the Historical Society’s largest and most important fund raising 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 19th-century furniture to vintage tools and traditional pottery to textiles, glassware and jewelry.
For the $8 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 as well as grilled burgers and dogs, and end it all with a slice of homemade pie!
Parking is free, and the event goes on rain or shine.
