  • Vintage Book Sale

    The Vintage Book Sale is back! May 31 and June 1 are the dates to visit the museum barn to find treasured books, some over 100 years old. We will be selling vintage books for both children and adults. Many extremely rare books are likely to intrigue you, well known books too. Our book prices are much lower than you’ll find on line.

    Pat McCoid, owner of Gig Harbor Book Company, will again be available to estimate the price of one vintage book you bring.

    The sale will run from 1 – 4 P.M. on both Saturday, May 31st and Sunday, June 1st. We hope to see all of you bibliophiles there enjoying the search.
