Canton Historical Museum Flea Market: In Search of Bargains

Looking for a bargain? Or a few?

You have more than a few opportunities to score this weekend with artists, vintage goods dealers and museum quality finds at the Canton Historical Museum Tag Sale & Flea Market. And, there will be deals on great plants too.

Starting at 9 a.m. Saturday morning, bargain hunters will be able to browse through a diverse collection of treasures. There will be one of a kind Collins Company collectibles; household and lifestyle goods; as well as vegetable, annual plants and trees — all at great prices.

In addition to the Museum, 20 plus vendors will be offering great Flea Market finds. Located across the street from the Museum, the Flea Market will offer goods from local artists, vintage dealers, as well as a few surprises.

The Museum has also made sure that you have the fuel you need to spend some time rummaging. There will be music by popular artist Bill Benson — ask him to sing Porch Time — as well as hot dogs and beverages for sale.

If that’s not enough, while you’re there ask for a Museum Coupon. It entitles you to a free cookie at LaSalle Market, with the purchase of a cup of Omar coffee.

It’s spring in Collinsville. Enjoy.
