Art & Antique Auction to benefit museum and heritage education
Preservation Partners of the Fox Valley will hold an "Art & Antique Auction" this weekend to raise money for its museum and heritage education work.
View and bid on over two dozen pieces of donated art and antiques inside the historic Beith House, an 1850 Greek-revival limestone home at 8 Indiana St. in downtown St. Charles.
The auction will take place during Scarecrow Fest on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 7-8, from noon to 3 p.m.
Also, visit the first floor of the Beith House, currently undergoing much needed restoration work. The home was restored in the 1980s by Preservation Partners of the Fox Valley as close as possible to its original condition and décor and remains one of the least altered historic structures in St. Charles.
Preservation Partners of the Fox Valley is a nonprofit organization that operates four historic sites in the Fox Valley: the 1843 Durant-Peterson House, 1872 Sholes School, 1907 Fabyan Villa, and 1910 Fabyan Japanese Garden. The operation of these sites is in partnership with the Forest Preserve District of Kane County. It also works to support the appreciation and preservation of historic structures in the Fox Valley including the Fabyan Windmill, Viking Ship, Pure Oil Station, and more.
