Antiques show returns to Schoharie

SCHOHARIE — For the 42nd autumn, an Antiques in Schoharie show will be held on the grounds of the Schoharie Valley Railroad Museum. This year, the show is Sept. 16 and 17 — open on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and open on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Railroad Museum is open to show-goers and the grounds, as well as all the buildings, will be filled with over 100 antiques dealers. Lunch offerings include homemade pies, cakes, brownies, and cookies plus chili, soup, and sandwiches made to order.

Following in the tradition of Colonial women, the Schoharie County Quilt Barn Trail is encouraging residents of the county to air their quilts, displaying them outside on clotheslines, porches, wherever they wish.

Many quilts will be aired all day Saturday, Sept. 16, at the Fall Antiques Show (rain date for the quilts is Sunday, Sept. 17).  For more information of the Quilt Trail, visit the website  www.quiltbarntrail.com.

The antiques show is run by Schoharie Colonial Heritage Volunteers and is one of its largest fundraisers, supporting ongoing activities, especially the 1743 Palatine House — the oldest building in Schoharie County — and the Schoharie Valley Railroad Museum. For more information about the Colonial Heritage Association, go online to SchoharieHeritage.org.  Membership is open to all.
