Each town in Chenango County is filled with history. Not only are many
of these quaint villages filled with buildings that are over a century old, but
the historical treasures that can be found at antique stores and flea markets is
also a part of the area's history.
Each Memorial Day weekend for the last 33 years, it's been an antique car lovers
dream
at the annual Antique Auto Show and Flea Market held at the county
fairgrounds in Norwich. Sponsored by Rolling Antiquers Old Car Club of Norwich, this
show brings together hundreds of antique automobiles of all kinds. There are muscle
cars, show cars, military vehicles, and foreign sports cards all in competition to see
whose pride and joy is the best of the show.
In addition to the cars, the antiques and collectibles are on display for sale and for
auction.
| The fourth Saturday in July, Greater Greene Chamber of Commerce presents its annual Arts
and Crafts Festival. Better known as "The Craft Fair," this
event has become the region's premier crafts show, hosting 200+ vendors of distinctive
handmade crafts. You can find everything from fine jewelry, pottery, and inlaid wood
artwork, to quilts and crystal. Greene closes off the town's entire center green and
lines both sides with vendors' displays. Surrounding the green is a variety of
local antique and collectible shops and restaurants. Shop the many displays and then
flop down in a chair with a cool drink under a shady tree to examine your
"finds." |

If a weekend of antique hunting is more your style, you'll want to take in
towns like Bainbridge, Greene, Guilford, Sherburne, New Berlin, Afton, Norwich and
Oxford, as well as plan side trips off the main highways to explore the many
antique shops. Don't miss the annual Chenango County Historical Society's Antique Show at the Fairgrounds in September. You will also find art galleries where you can treat yourself to the talents
of our many resident artists. At the end of the day, stroll down one of these town's
historic streets, and discover one of our excellent restaurants for a delicious and
satisfying dinner. For a
