Ski and Winter Gear Consignment

The Amherst Historical Society will be collecting gently used skis, snowboards, and skates to resell on a 50/50 consignment at their 2nd Annual Ski and Winter Gear Sale. Recycle your children’s out-grown and your gently used winter equipment and put cash in your pocket!

Consignment/Equipment drop-off will be accepted on January 5, 2018, 3:45 pm-6:30 pm inside the main entrance of the Crocker Farm Elementary School, at 280 West Street, Amherst.

We will accept skis, ski boots, poles, helmets, ice skates, cross country gear, and snow shoes in good condition. For the quickest sale – bring items in good condition! You will receive a ticket stub for each item put into the sale – you MUST present this stub during pick-up on January 6th, 2pm-3pm to receive your money or unsold equipment. All items and payments not picked up will be considered a donation.

About the Museum

Visit the Amherst History Museum, located at the Simeon Strong House, 67 Amity St., Amherst MA. We held our first exhibition in 1899, received our charter in 1903, and are celebrating over 100 years of the Society’s ownership of the c.1759 Simeon Strong House.

The Amherst History Museum is open Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Fridays from noon to 4 p.m., or by appointment. You can find directions here.

Amherst A to Z

Want to know where Amherst’s Cold War bunker is located? Or where the “curragh” district of Amherst was? Or learn about a local factory that made “collapsing skirts!”

These are all entries under the letter “C” in the book Amherst A to Z, written by Elizabeth Sharpe. The book is illustrated with pictures of artifacts from the Amherst History Museum, historic images from the Jones Library’s Special Collections, as well as photographs of our town and the folks who live here.
