Historical Society's Own Antiques Road Show!

    On April 3rd the BHS held our own mini Antiques Road show. Around 40 people showed up to show off their treasures. It was interesting to see the things that were either passed down in families or that people like to collect. Here are just a few.
     Our expert was Jeff Spencer who has been working in the antique business for 40 
years.

Bob doesn't need a bank to count his money. He came prepared with his own coin counter!

A woven navy blue and cream blanket from Bill Bohn that has been in his family for over 100 years.


 The show ran from 6:30 until around 9pm and it appeared that every one was pleased with the estimates they got on their things. I know I was.
We are planning on  having another one in the fall and would love to see an even bigger turnout .
