Every year the South County Historical Society host an Annual Antique Show and Sale, the organization's largest event of the year in February. Over twenty two quality antique dealers from throughout California showcase Collectibles, Silver, China, Glassware, Books, Art, Furniture and more.
Members of the Society donn period costumes
for the event and a Tea Room is open throughout the show, selling soups, sandwiches,
homemade pies and other refreshments.
At the right South County Historical Society
members Barbara Vinson and Ethel Gilliland don Period Clothing for the Show.
The event has become renowned for its Gift Basket Prize Drawing. The Baskets, assembled by
Society Members, are filled with gifts donated by local businesses and Society Members.
Winners need not be present for the drawing and the tickets for the are available for a
donation of $1.00 each, or six for $5.00.
All proceeds of the show are used by the Society for its ongoing
preservation activities and upkeep of its museum properties. The organization showcases
four historical landmarks, the Heritage House Museum, the Paulding History House, the
Santa Manuela Schoolhouse and the "Barn", located immediately behind the
Schoolhouse, where many historical artifacts preserved by the Society can be found. Still
a work in progress, the Barn has just recently opened to the public and houses a variety
of historical vehicles, printing presses and agricultural implements of the Arroyo Grande
Valley. The IOOF Hall on Bridge Street, currently under renovation, is another of the
Historical Society's museum projects.
