Our sale is one of the largest book sales in Indianapolis with thousands of titles to browse through. Prices range from $1 for paperbacks to $2 for hard covers, and children’s books are at a special low price. On Sunday, you can buy a bag of books for just $5! (We provide the bag).
Proceeds from the sale benefit the Benton House, a Second Empire home built in 1873. It was the home of Allen R. Benton, twice president of Butler University. The Irvington Historic Landmarks Foundation was founded in 1966 to purchase and restore the Benton House; in 1969, the Benton House Association was formed to maintain the house and promote it as rental space for weddings, showers and other events.
