Pop Up Market offers countless treasures at Lost Villages Museum
July 2, 2018
Lost Villages Museum
The Lost Villages Museum gives visitors a chance to discover a unique piece of our area’s history. This Saturday, museum visitors will also have a chance to discover a unique treasure or two.
The heritage attraction on Highway 2 west of Cornwall will host a Pop Up Market on Saturday, July 7th from 10 am to 4 pm featuring dozens of vendors from Cornwall, SD&G and the surrounding area. Spread out amongst the beautiful heritage buildings in the park, the vendors will be selling a variety of items including clothing, jewelry, skincare and home décor products, flowers, giftware, knits, toys, woodworks and much more.
In addition to the market, there will be a barbecue hosted by the Lost Villages Historical Society, face painting and a musician.
At this point, 46 vendors are on board to showcase their goods at the market, with the possibility of more being added.
“I’m always looking for unique venues to host events in and have always loved the Lost Villages Museum. The grounds there are so beautiful and although it is just outside the city, it does feel much more removed than that,” said Debbie Poirier-Burns of W3G & Co. (We 3 Girls), the organizers of the event.
The group has organized other pop up events over the past couple years and the hope is this latest version will find a permanent footing at the Lost Villages Museum.
“I hope this is the start of a long-standing partnership,” Mrs. Poirier-Burns added.
For visitors, the event provides a great opportunity to explore the area’s talented artisans and rich heritage all at once.
“We have amazing artisans in our area and it will give visitors a chance to see all that we have to offer,” said Mrs. Poirier-Burns.
The Lost Villages Museum is located on Fran Laflamme Drive just off Highway 2 and there is ample parking on site.
