Antique Appraisal Day

Sign up to bring your own object, or just come and watch the fun.

The categories being appraised are Modern and Antique Jewelry: Studio 2015 Jewelry, China and Glass: Lynne Eltrevoog, Toys: David Kreig, and Dolls: Barbara Peterson.

The cost is $5 for each object with a maximum of three appraisals per individual. Reserve a 10 minute slot in advance by calling the museum at 815-923-2267. You must arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time to confirm your appointment and pay. Walk-ins also are welcome if time is available. Verbal appraisals only.

Free admission to the museum will be extended to those bringing an object for appraisal. Others pay regular admission - $5 for adults; $3 seniors and students; $12 for families. Members, as always, are free.
