Our patrons had a great time with former Antiques Roadshow appraiser Mark Moran today. While no one is going to retire to Maui on the proceeds from their treasures, everyone learned something interesting about their antiques. As always, it was a highly entertaining time. Our thanks to Mark and to all who came!

Mark will have appraisal events throughout the state in the coming months. The events are listed on his website at https://mfmappraisals.com/

Our DPW has safely blocked off the area, and repairs are scheduled for early next week. In the meantime, please plan for limited parking.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
