Cape May County - Ocean City - Ocean City Historical Museum (OCHM) Antique & Collectibles Fair


Saturday, July 14 – Cape May County

The Ocean City Historical Museum (OCHM) prepares Antique & Collectibles Fair -- The OCHM is sponsoring its sixth annual Antiques and Collectibles Fair on Saturday, July 14. 

The show is open to the public free-of-charge, but donations are gratefully accepted to help underwrite the museum's mission and programs. The show is located in the air-conditioned Community Center at 17th and Haven in Ocean City (NJ). Show hours are 9 to 3.

    In addition to the 26 vendors who will be participating in this year's show, the museum also sets up a “museum table” where donated items will be sold to benefit the curatorial efforts of the Museum. This is always a fascinating part of the show since many hidden treasures surface.

    Many of the previous year's dealers will be returning and offer a wide variety of antiques and collectibles including glassware and china, antique jewelry, small furniture, antique paper goods and books, antique toys, country collectibles and Shore-related items.

    Please join us on July 14 in an air-conditioned venue for an enjoyable antique shopping experience.

    The Ocean City Historical Museum is open for the summer: Monday – Saturday 10 am to 4 pm. With nearly 6,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space the Ocean City Historical Museum is home to treasures from throughout Ocean City’s 139-year history. From shipwrecks to princesses, religious piety to entrepreneurial spirit, Ocean City’s story is shared with more than 9,000 guests and at events all year long. Located in the Ocean City Community Center (1735 Simpson Avenue Ocean City, NJ 08226), the Museum continues to build upon its 54-year history of preserving America’s Greatest Family Resort.

Germs were an unknown entity.      On Sunday, June 9 at Rockingham, Marjory Wienkop will be in residence in the Dutch barn with a display of colonial-era surgeon-dentist instruments, related objects and much information on the real story of who took...
