AVN Rummage Sale
Featured AVN Rummage SaleFar Hills Fairgrounds , United StatesA Somerset County Treasure: The Atlantic Visiting Nurse Rummage Sale For more than a century, the rolling fields of the Far Hills Fairgrounds in Far Hills, New Jersey have hosted one of the state’s most cherished community traditions: the Atlantic Visiting Nurse Rummage Sale. Held twice each year in spring and fall, this beloved event draws thousands of bargain hunters, collectors, and neighbors from across New Jersey and beyond — all united by a shared spirit of community and generosity. Humble Beginnings and a Legacy of Service Rummage (as those in the know call it) traces its origins back to 1923, when volunteers at the Visiting Nurse Association of Somerset Hills organized a simple fundraising sale at the Far Hills Fairgrounds to support home health services. What started with just a few tables has grown into New Jersey’s oldest and largest rummage sale, a cornerstone event in Somerset County’s calendar. From the very beginning, the goal of Rummage has been to support quality health care at home and in the community, helping older adults, individuals recovering from illness or surgery, and those living with chronic conditions remain where they are most comfortable: in their own homes. That mission continues today
