Donate your gently used spring and summer sports equipment to the Wenham Museum for resale! 

About this Event

Join Wenham Museum for the second-ever Spring & Summer Sports Sale! For over 100 years, Wenham Museum has been a multi-generational place to roam, play and discover.

For many of our valued visitors, members, and supporters, outdoor play and discovery and organized youth sports are also an important part of daily life and the spirit of our local community. We’ve realized there’s a high demand for gently used sporting and athletic equipment within our multi-generational audience.  In keeping with the museum’s former Attic Treasures Sale tradition, the Spring & Summer Sports Sale will bring the community together for a fun and affordable resale event that benefits Wenham Museum.

We reserve the right to reject any items for donation that may not be saleable due to wear, age, or other factors or do not fall into the categories listed below.
