Northern Fayette Co. Antique Shows

Celebrate 50th Anniversary This Year

The Fayette County Record
Even before former Texas
Governor Rick Perry built
a home near there, the tiny
community of Round Top was
well-known to antiquers and
flea market browsers all over the
United States and beyond.
The Round Top antiques
markets started there in 1967,
but long ago outgrew its origins
and spread all over the country-
side – initially north to Car-
mine and west to Warrenton.

sands of vendors, quickly followed
by tens of thousands of shoppers. A selection of the items at the Marburger Farm Antiques Show.
