​Join us for a fun day of unique collections from local collectors. You’ll see a wide variety of displays from coins to bottles, movie props, shells, World’s Fair Memorabilia, and more! This event is free and we welcome all ages.
Calling all collectors! Do you have a unique collection you would like to "show and tell" in a museum for a day? Do you collect coins, stamps, movie props, Smurf figurines, plastic wall clocks, or other fun items? We're looking for local exhibitors to join our Pop-Up Museum!
Each space is $15, which includes room for a six-foot table (plus standing room). Priority will be given to a wide diversity of collections, and exhibitors must be approved in advance by the Society. Ideally exhibitors provide their own table, however the Society can arrange for a limited number of tables as needed. Please ask in advance. The displays must be a cohesive collection built around a theme or topic. Militaria is welcome, but we request no firearms, munitions, or bladed weapons, and additionally no imitation firearms or imitation munitions (replica, life-size toy). Collections must be appropriate for all ages. Please contact us for more information and an application form.
