For more than half a century, rain or shine, antique dealers and collectors gather on the historic town green in Lebanon, Conn. Once a common sight in Connecticut towns, outdoor antique shows are now few and far between. This show on the Lebanon Green offers a bit of nostalgia for everyone. Now in its 59th year, the Lebanon Historical Societys Outdoor Antiques Show will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26. Its a tradition, fall colors, antiques, chowder and pie all enjoyed outside on the green as the Lebanon Historical Society celebrates its biggest fundraiser. Up to 60 dealers will offer antiques and high-quality collectibles to buyers who come from around the state and throughout southern New England. The event started in 1966 as a money-making effort to fund society programs and, eventually, to help pay for the land needed to build a museum. Today, the show helps fund the historical societys school programs, exhibits, and presentations. Some dealers have been participating for many years, but new-to-the-field dealers are added every year. Visitors can expect to find everything from 19th-century furniture to vintage tools, pottery, textiles, glassware, and jewelry. To learn about dealer spaces, which are $90 for a 20-by-24-foot space, call 860-423-8876 or 860-642-6579. For the $8 admission fee visitors can spend the day wandering the field, talking with dealers and finding a bargain. Lunch and snacks are available for purchase all day, including homemade corn and clam chowder, sandwiches, and slices of homemade pie. Parking is free of charge, and the event is rain or shine. For GPS purposes, the show is held at 856 Trumbull Highway, Lebanon, Conn. For more information, call the Lebanon Historical Society at 860-642-6579 or email museum@historyoflebanon.org.
