LEWISTOWN — It’s not really an estate sale, but kind of a yard sale. There are definitely no blue lights, sorry Kmart. A red-tag sale? Wrong again. Does it even need a name?

Bottom line: The Mifflin County Historical Society is holding a sale to purge selected items from its research library.

“A sale like this was done years ago, but we want to revive this activity to continue to offer overstock items to the community,” said Dee Miller, historical society member and sale coordinator.

The two-day will start on Friday, Sept. 26 — Lucky Friday in downtown Lewistown — from 5 to 8 p.m. and conclude on Sunday, from 1 to 3 p.m.

The sale will be held in the outside courtyard behind the McCoy Museum, located at 17 N. Main St., Lewistown, near the carriage house. Entry is only available from the alley gate, and not from inside the McCoy Museum.

Miller said the types of items that shoppers might find for sale include: Mifflin County historical publications, local area atlases, assorted hardback books, China cups and saucers, past historical society calendars, framed prints, souvenir glassware, Beanie Babies and lots of miscellaneous items.

“We chose the name estate sale over yard sale because some stuff is antique,” said Forest Fisher, a volunteer with the Mifflin County Historical Society. “It’s stuff the historical society is trying to get rid of, clean house during the big library renovations. Odd and ends, old things, some modern much without any local connection.”

“This will be a great test run for some future events like this. We expect a good turn out,” Miller said. “Our historical research library was hastily cleaned out so we did not pull as much overstock as we would have liked.”
