CAMBRIDGE, Ohio — Businesses and individuals along the Historic National Road will take part in the fifth annual dawn to dusk yard sale May 28 through June 1.
Sprinkled along the historic U.S. Route 40, stretching from Baltimore to St. Louis, this event features approximately 824 miles of bargains, antiques, fresh produce, furniture and more.
About the event
Designed to promote all that’s great about small-town America, the event continues to grow and serves as a unique opportunity for communities to attract visitors to more than great bargains.
In Ohio, Guernsey County will celebrate the event May 31 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. throughout historic downtown Cambridge. Area residents are invited to bring items to Wheeling Avenue for sale.
