The Buckeye State Button Society Summer Button Sale

On July 11, 2026, crafters, button collectors, and anyone interested in learning about the hobby of button collecting will find thousands of antique and vintage buttons at The Buckeye State Button Society's Summer Button Sale. The Zane Trace Button Club will host the event in the meeting room at the Warther Museum, 331 Karl Ave., Dover, OH 44622, from 9:30a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is free to the sale, which may be accessed from the museum’s gift shop. Lunch will be available for purchase.

Free to view, Frieda Warther’s “Button House” adjacent to the museum displays buttons arranged in geometric patterns on huge panels that line the interior of the house. This collection showcases the international hobby that has existed in the United States since 1938.

At the button sale, visitors can marvel at the wonderful variety of buttons that have been made to fasten and adorn our clothing. Crafters will find inspiration for projects. Collectors can add to their existing collection, and those who want to know more about button collecting can learn how to begin.
