SNOW, SNOW, SNOW
This is the time of year when things tend to slow down in Central Pennsylvania because everyone is waiting for the next big snowfall. Being a business located in the "Valleys of the Susquehanna", it can sometimes snow or rain in the town next to us but we don't get a drop. Likewise at the barn we could get a couple of inches of snow and I drive home from work to find my sidewalks and streets bare.
With this is mind, we follow the general rule: If the local weather calls for an inch or more, call first to determine if we are open. We do this for your safety as well as ours. If you are a local, then we follow the local school closings and delays. If school opens later by an hour or two, so do we. When school is cancelled, then we are closed. Our local schools are East Lycoming School District and Muncy School District. You can reach us by phone at 570-546-7493 if we are open.
Our vendors are busy with changing merchandise around after the holiday season. With over 20 vendors and consignors, merchandise is brought in almost daily. From furniture to glassware, linens to jewelry, lighting to giftware...you could spend quite some time in the barn and not see everything. Come enjoy the atmosphere and take home a treasure or two.
We look forward to your visit.

Today won't happen again for another hundred years.
The date that is...1-1-11. If you follow the general description used by antique collectors and dealers (or the lore of the business so to speak), anything you buy today will be an antique on 1-1-2111. Start a time capsule with something new and store it away for your grandchildren/great-grandchildren and they might open it to find something truly valuable in the future.
In 1911, Lucille Ball and Ronald Reagan were born. Crisco was introduced and the New York Public Library was opened. Collectible items can come from anywhere. They can be of great value in our everyday lives or a fad item developed for a single use in time. And then there's always that one person's trash is another person's treasure line of reasoning. Whatever it is you are searching for or wish to keep for posterity, chances are we can help you at the Olde Barn Centre with information, advice and maybe a piece or two.
Our lobby provides complimentary trade publications and area attraction brochures should you choose to use them. As always, please review the individual show or store websites for the most accurate information available but here are some upcoming events in 2011:
Black Angus Antiques 2011 Antique Extravaganza, www.stoudts.com dates are 4/30-5/1; 6/25-26; 9/24-25
York Antiques Show, www.theoriginalyorkantiquesshow.com 1/28-30
Bloomsburg Antique Show, M. Butche Promotions, 3/12-13
