CANTON — The Revere & Son Heritage Trust is excited to host a free, region-wide yard sale in August and registration for sellers is currently ongoing.
The yard sale will take place on Aug. 24 from 1-4 p.m. at the Paul Revere Heritage Site at 2 Rolling Mill Way, Canton. In the event of inclement weather, the event will be postponed to Sunday, Aug. 25 from 1- 4 p.m.
The deadline for registering for a seller’s space at the event is August 16. Sellers can register and learn more here.
The Yard Sale is open to residents of all towns. For a $30 donation to the Paul Revere Heritage Site, sellers will be assigned a 10’ x 10’ space to sell pre-owned items in the park. The yard sale is being sponsored by The Junk Removers of Canton.
The Yellow Barn, which is the future home for the Paul Revere Museum of Discovery and Innovation (MoDI) will also be open during the Yard Sale, and visitors are welcome to explore the expansive exhibit titled “COPPER.” The exhibit will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 24, thanks to a generous grant from the Highland Street Foundation’s “August Adventures” program. The copper exhibit spans all three floors of the future museum building and includes a wide variety of copper artifacts and many of the works of nationally renowned coppersmith, T. Michael Thomas.
Free parking for the event is available at the Canton Center MBTA station and there is limited street parking available. Parking on-site is for those with mobility issues and dine-in guests of the restaurant only.
