Newtown Historical Society has a pair of events planned for Saturday, April 12, with one taking place at its headquarters and the other in an equally historic building within eyesight. Both events will run from noon to 4 pm.

After many years, the society’s Antique Appraisal Day is making a return. Sponsored by the historical society, enthusiasts and collectors are invited to uncover the hidden stories and value behind their cherished treasures.

This event will take place at Newtown Meeting House, 31 Main Street.

Brian Corcoran of The Auction Barn in New Milford, Tucker Frey of Tucker Frey Antiques in Woodbury, and John Renjilian of Pages of Yesteryear in Newtown will be on hand to provide professional evaluations.

Cost is $10 per item and photographs of large items will be accepted.

No appointment is necessary. Guests can visit the meeting house at their leisure.

Concurrently, The Matthew Curtiss House, at 44 Main Street, will be open for visits and tours.

Visitors will have an opportunity to explore the fine example of an 18th Century Saltbox and learn about colonial life in Newtown.

This is a free event; however, donations will be gratefully accepted and used to continue offering events such as this.
