Antiques aren't just for decoration — they have a story to tell. This day reminds us to think about antiques as more than just another material possession. Antiques and family heirlooms enrich our lives and provide us with a rich history that helps us connect with those who came before us. This is a day to learn about your old things. If you have something passed down from your grandparents or great-grandparents, it’s a good idea to take a picture of it and record its history. The day might be an excellent time to record the provenance for safekeeping.  

National Cherish An Antique Day is observed on April 9 of every year.

We have been unable thus far to find the creator of this national day, but we will be sure to keep you posted.
