Museum auction - Steve - 10-10-2017 02:23 PM
I know this isn't related to Lincoln history but I'd thought I'd share this story about a New Mexico museum auction following its closure:

I don't know if anybody here is also a Western history enthusiast as well, but here's a link to the auction site if they'd be interested in bidding for cheap Victorian-era antiques:
[edit 5 Nov: removed no longer working auction link which has since concluded]
Here's a link to an article that has more context and information about the late Old Fort Sumner Museum:

I've been out of the Norton loop for a little while, and now playing catch up. Unfortunate that we are losing museums, small and large. Some of the small museums and historical societies have real gems. They give you a reason to stop and take in a little local history.
