Feb 15, 2025 | maineantiquedigest.com | Don Johnson

Lebanon, Tennessee The guy behind me is tapping his fingers impatiently. Seriously. He’s drumming away like John Bonham of Led Zeppelin. Except I’m oblivious to his exasperation—focused instead on photographing a small wool-covered ram. Anyway, sorry, dude. I didn’t mean to raise your blood pressure. It was Friday morning, shortly after the doors had opened for the Lebanon Antique Show, held February 14 and 15 at the Made in Tennessee Building on the Wilson County Fairgrounds in Lebanon, Tennessee.

Country Spirit Antique Show

Arcola, Illinois Two days after the U.S. general election and its bruising presidential race, a yard sign on Illinois 133 still stood.

In his epic trilogy about the liberation of Europe during World War II, historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Rick Atkinson details the Allied campaign.

Springfield Extravaganza, Springfield, Ohio When the Springfield Antique Show & Flea Market held the fall installment of its semiannual Springfield Extravaganza September 20-22, it was, as much as possible, business as usual.
