Leffingwell House Museum Saturday Market Days

The Leffingwell Colonial House Museum invites artists, artisans, crafters, demonstrators, vendors, re-enactors, educators, performers and musicians to participate in our Market Days on the 2nd Saturday of the months April through October from noon to 4 PM weather permitting.

Just like in the 1770's the vendors and entertainers will be on the lawn expanse. Vendor set-ups will begin at 9 AM. A donation (10% of net) to the museum is requested but there is no required participation fee. Reservations and advance notice is helpful to be included in advertising but is not a requirement to participate.

All are welcome! Please don't hesitate to pass this invitation to a friend. To make reservations or to ask questions please leave a clear message at 860.887.9000.
