April 12, 2005 - 2005 Indiana National Road Yard Sale Days

The weekend of June 4th, 2004, was the first to conduct the Indiana National Road Association Yard Sale, which filled Henry and Wayne County with hundreds of people, many from out of state. License plates from Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama were just a few noted parked along the highway. The Historic National Road (US40) was practically bumper-to-bumper between Knightstown and Richmond Indiana.

Plans are now underway to conduct the 2005 Indiana National Road Yard Sale Days for a full 5 days between Richmond and Terre Haute, beginning on June 1st and ending June 5th, from dawn to dusk. This translates into over 150 miles of bargains to look for fresh produce, antiques, furniture and more!

Indiana National Road invites you, the traveler, to leave the busy Interstate System and come to the less traveled highway. The event will include communities along the National Road (aka Antique Alley) in Wayne, Henry, Hancock, Marion, Hendricks, Putnam, Clay and Vigo Counties, and will provide you an opportunity to explore one of America’s scenic and historic byways. So put this 2005 event on your calendars to either find bargains or sell your wares! This promises to become an annual event, getting bigger and better each year.
