Pennsylvania Antiques Show

Presented by Historic Trappe, the Pennsylvania Antiques Show will feature 64 of the nation’s leading antiques dealers offering exceptional examples of fine and decorative art, including Americana, garden antiques, paintings, silver, ceramics, jewelry, European and Chinese decorative arts, and important works spanning the 17th through 20th centuries.

The show will take place April 23–26, 2026, at the convention center at Valley Forge Casino Resort.

A signature feature of the show will be the loan exhibition, The Conestoga Wagon: A Pennsylvania Icon, showcasing a full-scale Conestoga wagon from a private Lancaster collection. First developed in Lancaster County during the early 1700s to haul farm produce and other goods to market, these wagons were the equivalent of today’s tractor trailers and were often decorated with highly ornate ironwork made by local blacksmiths. In 1976, the Conestoga wagon was the focus of the Bicentennial Wagon Train, in which wagons from across the United States converged at Valley Forge on July 4. Fifty years later, the Pennsylvania Antiques Show once again brings visitors from around the country back to Valley Forge to celebrate the nation’s history through material culture during the U.S. Semiquincentennial.

General admission tickets for Friday, April 24, through Sunday, April 26, range from $20-25 and are free for guests under 18. Admission includes entry to the show as well as access to Historic Trappe’s museums, including the Center for Pennsylvania German Studies in the Dewees Tavern; the Muhlenberg House furnished to the Revolutionary War era; and the newly restored Speaker’s House, Frederick Muhlenberg, the first speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, which will celebrate its grand opening on April 11, 2026, following a 25-year restoration.
