Autumn Arts & Fine Crafts show at the Historic Merwinsville Hotel

The two-weekend Autumn Arts and Fine Crafts Show has been a long tradition in October. The dates of the show are Oct. 11-13 and Oct. 17-19. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on all days.

Over 80 local artists take advantage of the shows offered at the Hotel to sell their work and support the ongoing restoration of the building. A portion of all sales benefits the Hotel, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Those looking for gifts of original artwork by local artists will find a great variety of framed oil paintings, watercolors and photography. The fall show also features the work of artisans in glass, jewelry, woodwork, pottery, fiber arts, and more.

A $3 donation per person is requested; children under 10 are free. Individuals with a current membership are admitted free, and those with a “sponsor” or higher membership will receive a one-time 10% discount on their entire order.

The Merwinsville Hotel is located at 1 Brown’s Forge Road in Gaylordsville, CT, only 15 minutes from Kent, Sherman, New Milford and the Harlem Valley/Wingdale Railroad Station. For further information, call 860-350-4443 or visit www.merwinsvillehotel.org
