Jonathan Fisher House Antiques Show will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 17 (rain or shine). Admission is $10, or early buyer’s admission is $15 to be admitted at 8 a.m.
MOTHERS Art Gallery will be in Booth D4 at Blue Hill Fairgrounds, 233 Ellsworth Road, Blue Hill.
This show is an annual fundraiser for the Jonathan Fisher House and Museum. It is similar to the historic Ruggles House in Columbia Falls. Dealers from around the country will be selling antiques of all kinds, so there will be something for everyone.
The venue is the animal exhibit sheds of the county fairgrounds made famous in E.B. White’s “Charlotte’s Web.” For lunch, a very generous and popular crab meat roll is available along with several other choices.
Jonathan Fisher (1768-1847) was the first settled Congregational minister of the small village of Blue Hill. Fisher was also an artist, farmer, scientist, mathematician, surveyor and writer of prose and poetry. Today, at the charming homestead he designed in 1814 for his large family, you may see the life’s work of this “Versatile Yankee.”
