Our Mission is Simple...

"Join us for fun, fellowship, & Adventures via the past and into the future."
Preserving the Past for the Future
The motivating principles of the organization are to be found in the following words of founder, Mrs. Bess Bardens: “Antiques are part of human history, a tangible record of the things of everyday living. A fascinating hobby, the study of antiques gives the most pleasure to those who strive to learn all they can about where, when, why and how they were made. Through discovery and knowledge of antiques, we may bring the past to life and profit by the experiences of previous generations.”
We also study history and tour historical places to learn of what came before.

P & R Wish List
A very good suggestion came from one of our meetings:
It was suggested that the website should include a Wish List. Why? Because Chapters have needs for their P&R projects. Maybe a historic home or museum needs furniture or rug or lamp. Make that chapter project need known. You can use the "contact us" form which is (1H) under the (1)TOOLS tab. Include your phone #. The wish will be posted under
(1)TOOLS-NEWS tab (1B.1) P & R Wish List. Another Quester with that item in their collection may be inclined to donate it. A Receipt of Tax Deductible Donation can be given the donor.
Also, If you have an antique that you are willing to donate if someone's project can use it,
that can be listed on (1B.1) too.
