A Shopping Smorgasbord: BHA Jumble Sale Brings an
Old-Fashioned Community Market to the Beaufort Historic Site

     The Beaufort Historical Association offers a shopper’s smorgasbord at its annual Jumble Sale, 9am – 3pm, November 21 on the grounds of the Beaufort Historic Site. The Beaufort Historic Site, located in the 100 block of Turner Street, transforms into an old-fashioned community market filled with vendors selling a wide variety of items.  Event-goers can expect to find antiques and collectibles, fine art, pottery, handmade jewelry, crafts, tag sale items, candles, books, homemade food, and more. Held rain or shine, it’s a great time to do holiday or anytime shopping, and to find special bargains all in one location.

     The Mattie King Davis Art Gallery, the oldest gallery in Carteret County, is also open during the sale and the arts and crafts of more than 100 regional artists in the gallery. 

     “The Jumble Sale is a lot of fun for both vendors and shoppers,” says BHA public relations coordinator, Brooke Maharg. “It’s a great place to shop for one-of-a-kind handmade items and gifts.  Paired with the BHA’s Community Thanksgiving Feast on Sunday, November 22, it makes for a great autumn weekend in historic Beaufort.”

     The Beaufort Historical Association Jumble Sale serves as a fundraiser for the restoration and education projects of the Beaufort Historical Association.  For more information, contact the Beaufort Historical Association at 252-728-5225 or e-mail Brooke Maharg.
