Forty-five years ago we bought our early 19th century house and that began our interest in collecting early Americana. Gail began actively dealing in the early 80s and soon joined the New Hampshire Antiques Dealers Association. We began doing the NHADA show over 35 years ago and Gail served as chairman for five years. We hope you enjoy our collection as much as we have enjoyed collecting it.
