Our 2009 Boats to Tools Auction promises to feature

Last year over 500 items were featured in the auction - the new guidelines for the 2009 auction help set the stage for building upon this strong momentum.

 Why an Auction??

** it finds "new homes" for great stuff **
Used boats, timber  frames, woodworking tools, camping equipment & more. Got a boat  or woodworking tool that you want to hand off?  Put it in the auction!

** it raises funds for North House's educational efforts **
Funding the school's program equipment & underwriting the 
   costs of hosting free public programs

Please note: The Auction is not limited to wooden boats.
Anything and everything that floats (or sinks) is welcome.

Hundreds of items will be featured - fishing skiffs,
to timber frames to trailers. 
And each and every donation benefits North House.

During June, many of the larger auction items will be on display on the North House campus. Smaller items will be available for viewing (and bidding) throughout the day on Saturday.  Look below to discover auction sample items from PAST years.
