This event, held Saturday and Sunday, takes place on the grounds of Firemen’s Memorial Park, 46 High Street near the intersection of Parker Street and Buckwheat Road.

This event is held outdoors along the access road and well into the park’s spacious field area. Depending on weather, up to 100 (sometimes more) dealers and collectors set up tables on which to display their items for sale, including minerals (both local and worldwide), jewelry (lots!), gems, fossils, and more. One of the main attractions of this part of the show is that one never knows what will show up; items seen in recent years include a shillelagh and a bullwhip. This part of the show, as well as the show banquet listed below, are sponsored by the Franklin-Ogdensburg Mineralogical Society.

Additionally the Franklin Museum has a main show, also held Saturday and Sunday, which takes place in the event hall at Franklin Fire Department at 137 Buckwheat Road.
