An epic antique show is taking place March 2-3, 2018. Bringing the best antiquing to Central Illinois, this event is not one to miss if you're a collector.
The event is sponsored by Winterberry Store & Antiques, which is located in downtown Tuscola, and it always takes place the first Friday and Saturday of March.
The show is so large, it fills three huge spaces: the Tuscola Community Building (122 North Central Avenue), the Douglas County Museum (700 S. Main Street), and Forty Martyrs School Gym (109 E. Van Allen Street).
Featuring 50 dealers from around the Midwest, and even a few from the East Coast, visitors can expect to find high-quality antiques from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.
Literally, anything that could have survived from previous centuries can be found here. Furniture, pottery, toys, clothing, folk art, and much more abound at this unique show.
As it does annually, the event will take place again this year on the second Friday and Saturday of November.
