There will be a lot of great Americana for sale at the 57th annual Lititz Antiques Show in Lititz, Pa., on Friday and Saturday, June 28 and 29. Hosted since 1962 by the Lititz Historical Foundation as a fundraiser for the historic Johannes Mueller House erected in 1792, the show has evolved into a venerable, favorite event ushering in the summer antiquing season in southcentral Pennsylvania.
The Lititz show is a great venue to do eclectic comparative shopping. Fifty-two country dealers from seven states will gather at Warwick Middle School to stage their antiques for sale. Dealers and collectors will find dozens of categories and thousands of items, including (but not limited to) weathervanes, Christmas and holiday items, country furniture in original paint, wood carvings, butter prints, whirligigs, redware, signs, blue decorated stoneware, primitives, country smalls, textiles from primitive to sophisticated, wrought-iron implements and lighting, decoys, treen, hooked rugs, fraktur, tramp art, and make do's, just to name a few things.
Perennial Lititz show shoppers know just where to find their favorite dealers and make a beeline to their stands, to decide quickly on purchases and then continue to shop the show. Lititz show dealers have staked out their spaces over the years, many having exhibited at the quality show for decades.
Show dates and times will be Friday, June 28, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, June 29, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Warwick Middle School is located at 401 Maple St., Lititz, Pa. Parking is directly behind the high school.
