The show will be held at the Boxborough Regency Hotel & Conference Center (formerly the Holiday Inn) at 242 Adams Place. Boxborough is located west of Boston. If Paul Revere had kept riding after stops at Lexington and Concord, he would have been able to warn the people of Boxborough too. Alternatively, you can take the Mass. Turnpike west to I-495, and then north to exit 28. Hours are 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

 

Along with the dealers and their wares, appraisals will be available by John Bruno of Market Warriors from 12:00 - 2:00.
