BUSINESS HISTORY

Egypt Plantation Antique Barn was established in 1997 with the conversion of Bud's Antique Car Restoration shop building into an Antiques Mall. This change took place as a natural development of the Northington family's interest and love of local history. Named after the Northington's adjoining historic estate, "Egypt Plantation", the antique business compliments the regional heritage and eco tourism development efforts.

Trade Day events were added in 1998, generating additional customers.

Other family members also contribute to the business with their own ventures including:

	Plantation Tours of the 1849 Heard Northington House, Grounds and Slave House
	Local History Research and Tours in the 1900 Egypt Depot Museum
	Party Facilities at the 1900 Northington General Store and adjoining Saloon

PRIVATE COLLECTION EXHIBITS

Bud shares his personal collection of Antique Table Fans, Gas Station Signs, Borden Milk product containers, carriers & advertisement products in beautiful antique display cabinets and counters throughout the store.
