Lancaster County Carriage and Antique Auction

The Lancaster County Carriage & Antique Auction is a premier event that takes place annually on the last Thursday & Friday in June. There is an Early Bird Auction on Thursday afternoon and an all-day auction on Friday.

Thousands of people come to the village of Bird-in-Hand for the auction, which is held on the Smucker Homestead. Equine and antique enthusiasts, consignors, local residents, out-of-town visitors, and whole families look forward to our auction each year. Many are from the East Coast, but also from places as far away as Texas and California.

This is a significant annual fundraiser for our Hand-in-Hand Fire Company. We are appreciative of the amazing support we receive both from our local volunteers and the visitors to our area who come back year after year.

Mud Sales are a unique Lancaster County tradition to raise funds for local volunteer fire companies. See our complete schedule of Lancaster County mud sales.

Please Note: Many of the Fire Companies holding mud sales can always use extra help on the days they receive items and the day of the event.  It takes a LOT of labor to put on a mud sale.
