The "Original" Warrenton Antique Show and Sale was produced beginning in October 1981 by Smokey & B.J. Renck.
Renck Antiques Shop was located across Hwy 237 from the Warrenton Grocery Store at the Renck Residence.
There were 3 dealers in the Renck Yard and 9 dealers on Renck Field.
Warrenton, Texas did not have any other show venues in 1981.
Renck Hall was moved from Fayetteville, Texas to the Renck property in April 1992. The Hall was built in 1932 and was purchased from the Ray Baca family. The antique show opened in Renck Hall - October 1992. Today the Renck Hall continues the legacy of B. J. Renck & the Semi-annual Antique Shows.
The Antique Show has expanded over 44 years with town landowners renting their fields, front yards and buildings to vendors from all over the United States. The Antique Show venues in and around Warrenton have continued to expand the last 44 years.
Thousands of visitors/shoppers come to Warrenton, Texas and the surrounding towns every Spring and Fall.
2025 began our 44th year and 85th Antique Show.
