Annual Antiques Show To Support Mueller House By Ann Mead Ash
“The importance of the Johannes Mueller House to current day Lititz is strong,” said Henry Paul, a member of the Lititz Historical Foundation (LHF) and an organizer of the LHF 2019 Antiques Show. Citing the stone portion of the Mueller House erected in 1792, Paul pointed out that section is actually an addition to an earlier log dwelling that forms the most western portion of two attached buildings. “The log attachment is the oldest standing home in Lititz, erected in 1740 by John George Klein, (who was the home’s) first resident,” noted Paul. The LHF Antiques Show, which has been held since the early 1960s, is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, June 28 and 29, at Warwick Middle School, 104 Maple St., Lititz. On June 28, the 57th annual show will run from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m., and on June 29, it will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Plenty of free parking will be available. Funds raised by the event help maintain the Mueller House. The show is known to offer diversity among the items that will be available for sale. “There will be scads of smalls, mediums, and larges too,” said Paul. “(The show will) include plenty of Americana, country primitives, and sufficient unexpected offerings to keep even the most seasoned shoppers interested and surprised.” Organizers note that in 2019, attendees will find weathervanes, Christmas and holiday items, country furniture in first generation paint, wooden carvings, butter prints, redware, signs, blue decorated stoneware, textiles, wrought iron implements, decoys, hooked rugs, fraktur, and tramp art.
