Join us on Saturday September 27th, 2025 for our 58th Annual Barn Sale!

GOLDEN BALL TAVERN 57th ANNUAL BARN SALE – SEPT. 27th, 2025 9.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m.

Join us for our 58th Annual Barn Sale on the grounds of our museum at 662 Boston Post Road, Weston.  Admission is FREE.  Held on the last weekend of September for over 50 years, the Golden Ball Tavern Museum Barn Sale is one of the oldest continually operated sales of its kind in New England.  It is a perennial crowd pleaser and festive family event as well as a sure sign that autumn has arrived in New England. It is not unusual to unearth an unexpected treasure in the Barn!

The sale includes beautiful items donated by the local community who are moving, downsizing, clearing out the family attic and more. Items include fine Antique and Contemporary Furniture, Oriental Rugs, Crystal, Art, Pottery, Jewelry, Vintage and Contemporary Porcelain, Original Artwork and Photography, Kitchenware, Holiday Items, Old Cameras, Old Books, Household items and More!

Think about repurposing, reusing or repainting the “gently loved” furniture and decorative items on sale in our Barn. Your purchases help support sustainability in our communities by contributing to what’s being called the “circular economy” – one that aims to keep products and materials in use!

Proceeds from the event are the primary source of funds for the on-going restoration and development of the Golden Ball Tavern as a museum and educational resource for the public, schools and for students of  history and the history of architecture and the decorative arts.

Donations!  We gladly accept donated items to sell in our Barn Sale. Please email Rebecca Foley rebecca@foley.org or the museum at gbtmuseum@gmail.com to make arrangements (photos appreciated) or call the museum at 781-894-1751. Your donations are tax deductible

Volunteers!  The Sale is staffed entirely by volunteers.  If you’d like to join our devoted group, contact Rebecca Foley via email rebecca@foley.org or phone 617-513-5726.  Volunteers choose their own schedule and assist in sorting, tagging, and arranging sale items and/or assist on the day of the sale.  Our volunteers return year after year for the camaraderie and sense of satisfaction.  Expertise is also welcomed!
