Mid-February in Nashville brings a double dose of antiques as both the Heart of Country Antiques Show and Antiques and Garden Show are presented. The Heart of Country Antiques Show takes place February 14 - 16 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort, while the Antiques and Garden Show is held at the Nashville Convention Center from February 14 - 17.
Throughout the Heart of Country Antiques Show visitors will find a patriotic display with special exhibits ranging from quilts to jewelry. Additionally, a number of private dealers will be on-hand to showcase their personal collections, and Mary Emmerling, renowned author and designer, will be on hand to sign autographs and answer any questions you may have. Whether looking to pick up a few particular pieces to add to your collection or merely hoping to be immersed in an informative time of antiques, the Heart of Country Antiques Show is shaping up to offer antiques enthusiasts a varied time.
If the Heart of Country Antiques Show isn’t enough, the Antiques and Garden Show will also be running the same weekend for an all out celebration of antiques in Nashville, TN. Entering its 18th showing, the Antiques and Garden Show combines antiques and the art of decorative landscape. Throughout the show guests will find 150 booths displaying a wide range of antiques, as well as numerous gardens specifically designed for the weekend. In addition to the many exhibits of antiques and landscaping, guests will also find a number of lectures being held from the likes of Alexa Hampton from the Mark Hampton LLC design firm, David Kleinberg from David Kleinberg Design Associates, and Renny Reynolds and Jack Staub from the Hortulus Farm Nursery and Gardens.
And for those that can find time to squeeze in a little sightseeing between the Heart of Country Antiques Show and Antiques and Garden Show, a visit to the Ryman Auditorium can offer an authentic look into the past of Nashville for a perfect compliment to your weekend of antiques. Known as “The Mother Church of Country Music,” the Ryman Auditorium is most noted for its long tenure as the home of the Grand Ole Opry, and stands today as a National Historic Landmark and popular concert hall. Along a Ryman Auditorium Self-Guided Tour you’ll have the chance to explore not only one of the nation’s most cherished concert venues, but also explore a variety of authentic memorabilia tied to the Grand Ole Opry.
This February, make your next vacation a true trip into the past with Nashville, TN, the Heart of Country Antiques Show, and the Antiques and Garden Show!
