"We hope that the Expo serves as a 'can't-be-missed' event for homeowners considering repairs, restoration or remodeling projects, as well as people who are fans of traditional arts." -- Jennifer Goodman, executive director of the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance.

Our Next Old House and Barn Expo will be in the Spring of 2009!

We hope you will join us.

About the Expo:

As Spring approaches and the birds and buds start to appear, your list of projects around the house can grow as quickly as the grass. The New Hampshire Old House & Barn Expo, March 2009, is the place to be to get you organized, answer your questions, and to help you cross lots of items off your list.

Typically scheduled for a Saturday and Sunday in March, this popular one-stop-shopping trade show helps old house owners and enthusiasts with appropriate and affordable solutions.

You'll have a chance to meet face-to-face with knowledgeable suppliers of repair and restoration products and services.

At the 2007 Old House & Barn Expo, exhibitors included Cadwell Joinery, Erickson's Antique Stoves, A Merrie Sweepe Chimney Services, Ward Clapboard Mill and muralist David Wiggins. New vendors featuring hand-crafted interior items rounded out the Expo, providing a rich variety of resources.  Old House Journal contributor John Leeke offered demonstrations on window repair and award-winning landscape preservationist Lucinda Brockway gave a garden and landscape design talk, "Inspired by History." 

In addition to energy efficiency and "green" topics, other lectures included researching your house's history, architectural styles, historic paint color, old and new kitchen, tips for buying and selling older homes and much more. There were on-going demonstrations including stone wall building and other stone work, timber framing, furniture refinishing and stenciling.
