On Saturday, the CSS Neuse Museum staff will be holding an antique roadshow event at the museum. The staff can’t place value on the items, but the staff will be there to help identify any old antiques you may be wondering what they are. The event is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. to about 4:00 p.m.

“We're going to help people identify strange old things that they have or see if we can try to,” said David Stone, a curator for the museum.

The museum can show you where you can get a good idea of the value other people give similar artifacts. The museum wants to see “raw” artifacts, meaning uncleaned. Improper cleaning can destroy labels or markings that may help them identify the artifact. 

Throughout the year the museum identifies artifacts, which inspired the event.

“So we thought we'd maybe make a special day of it and have people bring in things and we'll make a whole day of it,” said Stone.

The museum workers will do their best to identify any items brought to the event.
