The McMinn County Living Heritage Museum is hosting an Appraisal Fair on Saturday, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Similar to the popular PBS “Antiques Road Show” program, this fair is open to the public, and will utilize staff from Case Antiques in Knoxville.

Case Antiques is familiar with a wide range of items including art, furniture, glassware, pottery, silver, jewelry, military items, and quilts.

The cost is $5 for the appraisal of each item. The museum will also feature “how to” guides for keeping your precious objects preserved.
