Brimfield Acres North Under New Ownership

BRIMFIELD, MA – Brimfield Acres North has changed hands and its
name. Now called Brimfield Acres, the transfer of ownership to
New York Artist Wil Watty (right) was completed in May, 2021, with
exciting changes underway in time for the July Brimfield Antique
Shows (July 13-18).
Located in the village fairground area—home to the world famous
and oldest American Antique Flea Market—this unique showfield
contains several buildings set on 12 acres, including an antique
co-op, fields for hosting dealers for the upcoming shows, and beautiful
surroundings as a backdrop.
Starting with the July Brimfield show, Watty has extended the
open hours for visitors to enjoy shopping on the field throughout the
week. Opening on Tuesday at 1 p.m. with a $6 entrance fee, the
extended schedule includes being open at 10 a.m. every day through
the remainder of the show.

Sue and Mike Rohrbacher noted on their webside that, “We have
strived to offer dealers both locally and nationwide, whether on the
field or in the Red Shop, the opportunity to sell antiques in a produc-

support as our ownership unfolded over the past decade. Recently we
