Antique Heirloom Day

In 2007, 2009, and 2011 the Mulgrave & Derry Historical Society hosted an Antique Heirloom Day at the parsonage of St. Matthew Lutheran Church, Inlet, Quebec. The idea behind this event was to have a display of heirlooms from original settlers of the area. The parsonage inside was decorated beautifully with a variety of heirlooms, which included glass, china, crystal, oil lamps and much more. Outside there was a new and used book sale. Outside exhibits included farm implements and wood working tools. Probably the most successful event of the day was the appraisal of items conducted by Len Depuis . Many brought their cherished items for appraisal and left realizing that they were the owners of valuable possessions. Others were told what their item would have been used for. A huge thanks to Len who captivated everyone’s attention. The entire event was enjoyed by many right down to the sausages, hot dogs and home made dessert.
