The Governor Wolf Historical Society Show and the Chestnut
Street Antiques Show in Historic Bath, PA, March 4 & 5
BATH, PA – Mark March 4th and 5th on your calendar for two great
primitive country shows you won’t want to miss. Only a stone’s throw
apart, the Governor Wolf Historical Society
celebrates its 14th year, and the Chestnut Street
Show its 8th year.
The unique feature of the Governor Wolf
Historical Society Show is the period room
settings that the dealers create in the restored 1785
Ralston-McKeen House. A cut-stone, center hall
home, the Ralston McKeen House with six corner
fireplaces is the perfect backdrop for 18th and
19th century antiques. An added bonus is the
hearth cooking demonstrations. They are done
with antique hearth cooking implements by
GWHS members in the large walk-in fireplace.
Not sure what certain antique kitchen tools were
meant for? This is the place to ask and see them in
action. The ladies have also compiled a small
booklet of their favorite colonial recipes.
As shown on the GWHS website, two other
historic buildings will be filled with antiques
dealers – the 1785 Wolf Academy, the birthplace
of public education for all boys and girls in
Pennsylvania, and the Monocacy Schoolhouse
which also contains the society’s new museum
highlighting the accomplishments of the 7th
governor of Pennsylvania Gov George Wolf. In
the Monocacy Schoolhouse, lunch will be available from Daily Grind,
Bath, including homemade soups, loaded sandwiches, freshly baked
cookies, and more.
