On Sunday, September 20, 2015, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum will launch its eighth annual Old-fashioned Flea Market chaired by LMMM Trustee Lynne Byington, in Mathews Park, 295 West Avenue in Norwalk, CT.
Whether you are a seasoned bargain hunter or a neophyte looking for a find, the Mansion’s Old-fashioned Flea Market will offer its shoppers a variety of items from new, to repurposed, to vintage, including antiques, furniture, collectibles, jewelry, household items, clothing, toys, and more.
“Part of the fun is looking,” said Ms. Byington, “and with a great variety of vendors nestled against one of the most magnificent National Historic Landmarks in the United States, music, antique cars, and the best barbecue in Fairfield County, visitors will be insured lots of family entertainment.”
Shoppers will be able to view the Mansion at a reduced admission of $5 per person, enjoy a classic and antique car show, listen to vintage music such as classic oldies and jazz played by the Bob Button Big Band while savoring an all-American barbeque, courtesy of Stew Leonard’s and Michael Gilmartin’s Outdoor Cookers Catering & Event Planning.
The LMMM Flea Market Committee is still accepting items for the Mansion’s fundraising White Elephant table. We welcome donations of items in good condition except for books, clothing, electronics, and furniture. Please check the LMMM website for a list of drop off dates. Proceeds will benefit the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum.
The Museum’s Gift Shop will be open during the event and feature new merchandise and a broad selection of gift ideas including vintage costume jewelry, porcelain tea cups, books on Victorian era art and architecture, local history, and more. All proceeds will benefit the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum. The Museum has donated several booths to area nonprofits who will share their message and mission with attendees.
