The Governor Wolf Historical Society will hold its fifth annual benefit antique show March 2 and 3 at its campus at 6600 Jacksonville Road.

The show will be held in the society's three historic buildings, many in room settings on all floors of the 18th-century Ralston McKeen House, the Governor Wolf Academy and in the Monocacy School.

Hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday.

Nearly 40 exhibitors will offer local primitives, country furniture, early textiles, folk art, early tools, toys, historical china, blue decorated stoneware, jewelry, early kitchen items and lighting, collectibles and more.

On Sunday at 1 p.m., Larry Hilborn will give a presentation on cast iron toys. At 2 p.m., Sue Irons will discuss "things to look for when buying an antique quilt." An auction will be held at 3 p.m., featuring an Oriental rug, a crewel chair and original watercolors by Phyllis Facchiano.

Ongoing demonstrations and tastings of open hearth cooking and food will be provided by The Daily Grind of Bath. There is ample parking on the property.
