PHOENIX, N.Y. — The Schroeppel Historical Society is preparing for a huge plant, bake and garage sale: the Serendipity Spring Super Sale.
The main sale takes place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 14, at the Schroeppel Historical Society (486 Main St., Phoenix), but shoppers can catch a glimpse of what’s in store at the preview and pre-sale day, which will be held from 8 to 10 a.m. Saturday, May 7.
Tables of plants and bake sale items will be added to the Final Special Sale Day on May 14. They will be available outside, as patrons enter or exit the museum, which is filled with tasteful, quality home decor, including mirrors, prints, lamps and figurines, insulated dish-ware, sewing machines, and other household items too numerous to mention.
Also available will be collectibles and a few antiques: vintage kitchen items, baskets, a carousel, candle holders, a copper coal scuttle, BP truck models, toys, and vinyl records.
The Schroeppel Historical Society is housed in the intact, genuinely antique, English Country Gothic-style building that was St. John’s Episcopal Church.
Schroeppel Historical Society members are looking forward to visitors’ enjoyment of the wide array of goods and the beautiful interior of this 112-year-old former church, with its carved chestnut altar piece, original stained-glass windows and ceiling lights. Be sure to check the beautiful, newly created study room, softly lit by stained glass windows. A visit to the Super Sale is a visit to a Phoenix landmark, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Schroeppel Historical Society archives and displays historic documents and artifacts related to the village of Phoenix and town of Schroeppel, engages speakers, and hosts community events. For more information, visit facebook.com/SchroeppelHistoricalSociety/.
