THE MONTANA ANTIQUES APPRAISAL FAIR
HISTORY IS HAPPENING
Every year, the Foundation for Montana History hosts The Montana Antiques Appraisal Fair in a different community around the state! This event allows participants to bring their fine art, collectibles, toys, heirlooms, and other interesting/valuable items to a select venue for verbal evaluation from our expert appraiser and auctioneer.
Our most recent fair took place at the Holter Museum of Art in Helena on October 14, 2023 from 9:00am to 5:00pm.
Plans for the next appraisal fair are currently in the works!
Date, location, and price are TBD
