Ever wanted to own a piece of history? Now’s your chance.
Walker County Historical Society’s Marsh House Task Force is hosting the Marsh House Antiques and More Auction Saturday, June 8 at 6 p.m. in the gazebo on the eastside grounds of the house. Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door.
Attendees can also take part in a pre-auction reception from 5-6 p.m. inside the house. Wine and appetizers will be served.
“It will be a lot of fun,” said Marsh House Task Force chairwoman Evelle Dana. “People have the opportunity to bring a treasure home.”
The auction will feature antiques from inside the home dating back to the 1800s including furniture, novels, framed pictures and assorted glassware, as well as themed baskets created by volunteers with themes like “gardening,” “gift cards” and “pet care.” Marsh House Task Force members plan to donate some of their own antiques to the auction too, said Dana. She personally is donating a gun cabinet, framed prints and cookbooks.
