Kicking off the early spring season, two different shows are scheduled to take place in Bath, Northampton County, Pa.: the 11th annual Governor Wolf Historical Society Antiques Show and the Fifth Annual Chestnut Street Antiques Show.
The Governor Wolf show on Saturday and Sunday, March 2 and 3, focuses mainly on country primitives and will have just under 50 dealers. It will be held on the grounds of the historic 1785 Wolf Academy at 6600 Jacksonville Road, in Bath. The site also includes the stone center-hall Ralston McKeen House and the Monocacy School. All three buildings will house exhibiting dealers. The Ralston McKeen House provides seven original fireplaces, which add to the ambiance of the room setting displays. The large walk-in fireplace will be used for an educational demonstration of hearth cooking using period equipment, complete with tastings during the show. In the Monocacy School, lunch will be available from Daily Grind, including homemade soups, sandwiches, fresh baked cookies, and more. The show hours will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., on Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. There will be an appraisal clinic from 1 to 3 p.m. on Sunday.
