11-12-19 Update!
One last update before the sale! We've added another couple dozen pics at the TOP of the gallery showing our final setup, so check those out!
Also, some detailed terms/conditions for this sale:
- The isle ways are a little tight in the basement, so please use caution when moving about and grabbing items...there are lots of breakables at this sale : )
- We will be fully staffed to attend to the sale, however our staff won't have the ability to carry items for everyone. If possible, plan to bring someone to help with carrying items to the "save area". We will have two large areas to save items while you're shopping, and also to wrap breakable items after checkout is complete.
- Due to the nature of the logistics of this sale (it's packed full!), we will be scheduling times for customers to pick up large items...at least for later during the sale, or during the next week if possible. Also, please bring your own assistance for all large items purchased.

Our next estate sale is coming up in mid-November, and it's taking place in one of the most beautiful homes we've ever been in! This Galesburg estate sale will be split up into two different sections, with two separate sales taking place. This first sale will be taking place in the lower level as well as the oversized two-stall garage...and the collections and treasures found inside are nothing short of astounding!
We've never seen a collection like this, and we are so honored to be bringing you these treasures! The homeowners once owned local funeral homes, were long-time members of the Tea Leaf Club International (ironstone collectors), and were also involved in starting the Galesburg Historical Museum back in the mid 1970s. The treasures they've amassed over the decades seem to bear the touch of love, care, and appreciation that only a museum curator could have, and we are so excited to be presenting their fantastic and eclectic collection to you!
Here is a list of the featured pieces and collections in this sale:
- Civil War ledger dated Oct. 14, 1864 containing the record of equipment issued to the men of Company I, 28th Michigan Infantry.
