110th Dunham Tavern Museum Antiques Show November 26, 2005

The prestigious 110th annual Dunham Tavern Museum Antiques Show returns Saturday, November 26 (11am-4pm) and Sunday, November 27 (11am-4pm) at Shaker Middle School located on Shaker Boulevard and Warrensville Center Road in Shaker Heights, Ohio. A $7 admission covers both days, so enthusiastic collectors can return to make further purchases.

Showgoers will be treated to 85 antique dealers offering a diverse selection of quality antiques from jewelry to rugs and from rifles to paintings. There are a variety of items that hold appeal for the beginning or seasoned collector with an emphasis on fine furniture, cabinetry and accessories and reasonable, fair pricing.

Those collectors eager to peruse the offerings before everyone else will want to take advantage of the Preview Shopping held Saturday, November 26 from 9am-11am. Tickets are $25 per person and include a continental breakfast, the only pre-sale opportunity to buy before the show opens to the general public and admission to the show for both days.

In addition to the vast selection of antiques, showgoers can participate in a Silent Auction of collectibles and decorative arts. Dunham Tavern Museum Members delve into their private collections and noted antique dealers make charitable donations to create an auction that includes a sparkling array of seldom-on-the-market items.

All proceeds from the show benefit Dunham Tavern, a nonprofit public museum run by volunteers. Built in 1824 and once a stagecoach stop on the Detroit-Buffalo Post Road, it is the oldest building in Cleveland on its original foundation. A visit to the Dunham Tavern Museum offers a fresh insight into the lifestyles of early Ohio settlers and travelers.
