The High Point Furniture Market

Twice a year, the International Home Furnishings Market is showcased in High Point, North Carolina.  People come from across the country and around the world to view and buy furniture in large showrooms throughout downtown High Point.  The last "High Point Furniture Market" for 2015 just ended.

Margaret Maron, author of the Deborah Knott series, wrote a fictional murder mystery set in the middle of this biannual event entitled Killer Market.  Author Barbara Taylor wrote a nonfiction historical account of High Point, including the "Furniture Market", in her book High Point.  You can find these titles at your local library or bookstore.  Check it out!
