Save the date: The Tolland Historical Society will hold its popular Tolland Antiques Show on Sunday, April 23.
As the Society continues to celebrate its 50th anniversary this year, it is pleased to host the show, which features 65 dealers from throughout New England, Pennsylvania and New York. It is one of the premier events in the Northeast dealing in early Americana.
The show will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Tolland Middle School at 1 Falcon Way off Old Cathole Road in Tolland. Admission is $9.
Mary-Pat Soucy is the new show director, and Dr. Sharron Laplante is the new deputy director.
The show will feature 18th- and 19th-century American furniture, accessories, textiles, rugs, prints, folk art, paintings, redware and early iron. Many items are of museum quality.
The show is a benefit for the society, with proceeds supporting the Old Tolland County Courthouse, the Old Tolland County Jail & Museum and the Daniel Benton Homestead. Proceeds also support the many programs that the society sponsors in the community and curriculum-related programs in the school system.
