Spring Forward: Barn Sale Donation Days Coming Soon!
April 5th 2025
Here's a heads up for all who like to plan in advance: The Sherman Historical Society will soon be accepting donations of much-loved but no-longer-needed goods for its annual Memorial Day weekend Barn Sale.
Donation days will be three Saturdays this year: April 26, May 3 and May 10, 9am-12pm ONLY, at the Society's big red barn at 10 Route 37 Center in Sherman. The Barn Sale itself will be held on Sat. and Sun., May 24 and 25.
We Accept (at the discretion of the Society): antiques, collectibles, furniture, china, linens, kitchen & household items, décor, holiday, jewelry, tools, art, outdoor equipment, gardening items, children's toys & games, small rugs (6'x9' and smaller) and more. All items must be of good condition and in working order. Not Accepting clothing, comput-ers, baby items (cribs, car seats, etc.), electronics, entertainment centers, heavy exercise equipment or upholstered furniture, and rugs larger than 6' x9'.
Do Not Drop Off any items at unscheduled days or times, however you may contact the SHS office at 860-354-3083 or office@shermanhistoricalsociety.org arrange a special date for drop-off or pickup of large items (there is a small, tax-deductible fee for the latter). The Sherman Historical Society is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization that's relied on this annual fundraiser to finance the Society's operating costs. Through such donations, we are able to offer historical programming and events for the community, remain a vital historical resource, and preserve the Society's buildings that are part of the historic district and of great pride to the town of Sherman.
This year, we will be celebrating our 50th anniversary with a bang—a colonial reenactment in September!
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer with Society, we have many opportunities prepping for the Barn Sale, during the event and clean out after. We also look for volunteers throughout the year for various projects. For more information, contact us.
We hope you'll consider donating during the dates above and cashing in on the fantastic buys at the sale itself! We thank you as always for your support!
