WOODVILLE, MISS. — After a successful first event a year ago, the town of Woodville is rolling out the carpet again to selected dealers from nine states to display their wares at the Second Annual Woodville Antiques Show and Sale November 14–16.

The three-day show will be open 10 am to 5 pm on both Friday and Saturday, and 11 am to 3 pm on Sunday. The European Antique Auction Gallery, which hosts the show, is located within the town limits on Highway US 61 North, and will offer a café for lunch and snack breaks every day.

Visitors will discover vendors offering a range of antique furnishings and fine art, linens, silver, antique jewelry and decorative goods. In addition to the show, several of the town’s gift shops, antiques shops, antique malls and museums will be open as well.

On Friday and Saturday afternoons, docents will welcome guests to tour the Feltus-Catchings Home, an early Nineteenth Century center hall home that has been in the same family since 1899. “Inspiring the Next Generation: Exceptional Mississippi Women,” an exhibit courtesy of the Museum of Mississippi History, will be open at the Wilkinson County Museum.

On Saturday evening a gala dinner will highlight the weekend by offering an opportunity to see the restored main house and gardens at Forest Home Plantation, just east of town, off Mississippi Highway 24, on Whitestown Road.

The Woodville Civic Club is an all-volunteer organization now in its 38th year that sponsors the weekend’s events to benefit the Wilkinson County Museum. The museum is housed in a columned 1834 office and banking house that belonged to the West Feliciana Railroad, on the court house square; the African American Museum is across the square in a classic Federal 1819 branch banking house.

Woodville has 244 sites in its in-town National Register District and countless antebellum plantations dot the countryside around this early Natchez District community.
