The Friends of Howell Farm are seeking contributions for an auction benefiting the furnishing of the farm’s newly restored Henry Phillips Farm House. The auction will be held November 22, and donations can be brought to the farm until November 19.
Items sought for the auction include tools, household items, books, antique clothing, furniture and hand-made items. Gift baskets, gift certificates, tickets to events and baked goods are also welcome. All donors will receive a letter acknowledging their contributions for tax deduction purposes.
To contribute an item, contact Kim Daly or Danielle Houghton at 609-737-3299 or [email protected].
Proceeds from the action will be used to purchase period furnishings for the farmhouse, whose restoration is now complete. A furnishing plan for the house was completed through a grant from the federal “Save America’s Treasures” program.
During the Old Time Auction on November 22, visitors can participate in two types of auctions—a silent auction and a live, old-fashioned barn auction. Items made by the farm’s blacksmiths, restoration carpenters, bakers and sewing guild will be included in the auction.
