The 59th Annual Golden Ball Tavern Barn Sale will take place on September 26, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. at the Golden Ball Tavern Museum in Weston, Massachusetts. This historic New England autumn tradition features a wide variety of donated community treasures—ranging from antique furniture and rugs to jewelry and art—with all proceeds directly funding the museum's preservation, restoration, and educational programs.
Join us at the Golden Ball Tavern Museum for a beloved New England tradition—the 59th Annual Barn Sale! Admission is free, and the fun happens the last weekend of September. The event is Rain or Shine!
For almost 60 years, this iconic event has drawn crowds looking for unique finds and timeless treasures. From antiques to contemporary pieces, it's a festive, family-friendly way to welcome autumn. You never know what gem you’ll uncover in the Barn!
What you’ll find:
Gorgeous items donated by local and wider community members—many who are moving, downsizing, or just clearing space.
Expect a wide variety, including:
• Antique & contemporary furniture
• Oriental rugs
• Crystal, art, pottery, and jewelry
• Vintage & modern porcelain
• Original artwork & photography
• Kitchenware, holiday decor,, household goods, and much more!
It’s the perfect opportunity to repurpose, reuse, or refresh something “gently loved”—all while supporting sustainability and the growing circular economy.
Best of all, your purchases help fund the continued restoration of the Golden Ball Tavern and its mission as a museum and educational resource for students, schools, and history lovers alike.
