History & Appreciation of Antiques Class

What do World's Fairs, presidential visits, historic celebrations, and major community events all have in common?
People wanted to remember them.
Join us next week for History & Appreciation of Antiques as Pat Pixley explores the fascinating world of Commemorative Books, People, Fairs & Events.
Long before smartphones and social media, commemorative books served as treasured keepsakes, preserving important moments, notable figures, and landmark events for future generations. These beautifully illustrated volumes offer a unique window into what communities valued, celebrated, and chose to remember.
Whether you're an avid collector, history enthusiast, or simply curious about the stories hidden within antique books and ephemera, this new lesson promises plenty of discoveries and discussion.
Bring an antique for Show & Tell and share its story with fellow antique lovers.

Every antique has a story. Some were written to ensure history would never be forgotten.
