Antique Shows of the Past

Antique shows are fun, especially if you are old enough to remember some of the great ones. Sure, there are some great shows still out there, but there are many behind us. One of the shows I miss most is the Heart of Country show in Nashville.

Urban Art & Antiques and the Calendar of Antiques would like to compile a list of some of the shows from the past and create a record for the future of some of the biggest and most fondly remembered shows.

To gather the information, we’ve created a survey form that will help collect the name of shows, the size of shows and the region. Anyone may submit information. Email addresses and other personal information are not collected. Please send any corrections to urbanartantiques@gmail.com!

The form is available here:
