Rusland Auctions Appraisers Moving and Storage is celebrating a Milestone 50th anniversary this year.

The late Bill Rusland purchased the property at 216 Hunter Street, what is now The Only, in 1972. That location had also been an auction house, dating back to 1936. Rusland’s son Rob, his wife Jackie and son Trent, now run Ruslands out of 1012 County Rd 19, just North of Peterborough.

With 12,000 square feet of storage, and a new 3200 square foot building for their online auctions, the family business continues to thrive. Check it all out online, including a special Estate sale online this week at ruslands.com.

Speaking of anniversaries, Dawn Gollaher of Gardens Plus is marking 25 years in business this year.
