The Premier Gathering Spot for
Wallace Nutting Collectors



The Wallace Nutting Collectors Club Conventions are an annual event, and always provide a fun, exciting, and informational weekend-long gathering. Wallace Nutting Collectors from around the country travel in order to take in the new sites and get together with many long-time friends made through their shared interest in all things Wallace Nutting. Some come to sell...most come to add new items to their collections...and all come to learn more about Wallace Nutting Pictures, Books, and Furniture.

Friday afternoon begins with the annual Wallace Nutting Auction where generally 400-500+ Wallace Nutting pictures are sold at Auction. The Convention Hospitality Suite is open for the latter part of the auction and on into the evening, and is a great place to meet and talk with other collectors in a relaxed atmosphere.

Saturday morning begins at 8:00 AM with the Wallace Nutting Exhibitors. Each year various club members set up booths where you can buy, sell and trade Wallace Nutting pictures, and exhibition space is available to all club members. After several hours of buying & selling, Wallace Nutting presentations are made by Club Members or Guest Speakers.

Saturday afternoon can sometimes offer some type of Wallace Nutting-related activity such as a visit to a former Wallace Nutting property...a museum tour...or a preview of a member's collection. But many times it's left open for members to visit and tour the local area on their own schedule. Saturday evening's Annual Club Dinner, followed with a final social gathering in the Hospitality Suite provide the perfect wrap-up to an ever special Wallace Nutting weekend.

The May 15-16th Wallace Nutting Convention weekend was in a word: excellent! Beginning with Friday's Auction...the Hospitality Suite... Saturday morning's buying & selling...the slate of presentations...the afternoon tours of the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museums in Wethersfield...and the Annual Club Dinner made for a fantastic time. Everyone was happy to be there and to participate, and it's the camaraderie between fellow collectors that really makes this Collectors Club what it is.
