RUMMAGE SALE TO BENEFIT BAY VIEW HISTORICAL SOCIETY

The Bay View Historical Society will hold a benefit rummage sale at 2590 S. Superior Street on Saturday, May 24h. Located on the lawn of the Society’s headquarters, the Beulah Brinton House, the sale will last from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and is open to the public.

Society members and other generous donors are cleaning out their attics and basements to offer a wide variety of goods for sale, including furniture, antiques and collectibles, books, toys, appliances and other household items.

During the sale, shoppers can also visit the Society’s archives room and gift shop inside the Brinton House and enjoy hot dogs and other refreshments. Among the featured gift shop items are color reproductions of vintage postcards depicting familiar Bay View scenes from the early 20th Century. The 17 individual postcard prints, which come in three sizes suitable for framing, include views of Bay View High School, Humboldt Park, Jones Island and South Shore Beach.

The Society is accepting price-marked donations of all household items (except clothing and shoes) for the sale. Donations can be dropped off at the sale site on the morning of May 24th from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Call Donna at 414-324-5690 for further information or to arrange for advance drop-off or for pick-up of large items.
