The Governor Wolf Historical Society will hold its ninth annual benefit antique show March 4 and 5 at Wolf Academy, 6600 Jacksonville Road, East Allen Township.

Show hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday. The show will be held in the three historic buildings owned by the society - 18th-century Ralston McKeen House, restored 18th-century Governor Wolf Academy and 19th-century Monocacy Schoolhouse.

There will be 30-plus exhibitors featuring local primitives, original paint furniture, early textiles, folk art, early tools, toys, historic china, blue decorated stoneware, jewelry, early kitchen items, lighting and more. The dealers exhibiting include Abby Brooks, Dave Irons, Mary Beach, John Billiard, Ken Vliet, Bill Fretz, Stephen Burkhardt, Claudia Colins, Helen Bryan, Sally Szelag, Stephen Zluky, Patsy Menecola, Barbara Schwarz, Dave Koch, Bernie Dreher, Carol Alfred, Brian Hart, Jean Torrie and Marsha Batts.

All proceeds from the show will go toward the major restoration underway at the Ralston McKeen House.

During the show, there will be ongoing demonstrations and tasting of open hearth cooking and an appraisal clinic of antiques Sunday in the society’s museum. Verbal appraisals will be conducted 1-3 p.m. Sunday by Charlotte Schneck, a certified appraiser.

There is a cost for the appraisals, in addition to the admission fee, with a limit of two items per person. Call 610-390-0555 to reserve an appraisal time.

There is ample parking on the property, and food by the Daily Grind of Bath will be available for purchase in the Schoolhouse Cafe.

The price of admission is good for both days. Take this newspaper article with you, and you’ll receive a discount of the admission cost.
