From I-79, take exit 14 (Waynesburg). Bear right off the ramp and go 1/2 mile on Rt. 21 West to the fairgrounds on the right.

We are proud to have been commissioned to offer the items from the homestead of the late John M. Martin, grandfather of former Governor and U.S. Senator, Gen. Edward S. Martin. The Craynes Run home near Ruff Creek was last occupied by the late John I. and Gladys Martin. The items have been moved to the fairgrounds for the convenience of the family. This will be a great auction for those interested in antiques and local history.
