The antique tool show is an opportunity to talk with such experienced individuals who might have worked with the type of tool one purchases.

The public is invited to bring a tool they cannot identify as many of the collectors will know the answer. This is the only joint meeting in Illinois of the EAIA and M-WTCA that the public is invited to attend. Opportunities at the show to become a member of the organizations will give access to their regional and national meetings.

Tours of the 1846 teamster inn and tavern begin at 11 a.m. and continue after the show until 4 p.m. Light refreshments will be available. Admission is $6 or $2 for children, age 12 and younger.
