This weekend in Benicia, CA

The Museum of History Benicia brings back its White Camel Sale inside the historic Stone Hall, a long-standing community favorite and one of the museum’s largest fundraisers. Admission is free, and shoppers can explore a vast selection of donated goods, including antiques, collectibles, household items, décor, books, tools, artwork, toys, jewelry, seasonal pieces, and more. With thousands of items spread throughout the venue, many visitors return more than once to take it all in. A special ticketed presale offers early access before the public sale, with additional details to be shared closer to the event. Donations are being accepted to help stock the sale, though furniture and clothing are not currently taken. The museum is also seeking volunteers to assist with donation intake, sorting and pricing, event setup, support during the sale, and cleanup, and no prior experience is required. Proceeds support exhibits, educational programs, collections care, and ongoing preservation at the Museum of History Benicia.
