Museum receives antique and collectible items; some will go on exhibit, some to be sold

July 20, 2015

Boundary County Historical Society and Museum has been bequeathed numerous antiques, collectibles, and household items from the Estate of Michael Ross McCall, who passed away September, 2014. According to Sue Kemmis, museum curator, the Museum is in the process of accessioning those items which have historic value to Boundary County and will enhance the museum’s collection. Ms. Kemmis adds that it was Mr. McCall's wish that the additional items be used to raise funds for the Museum.  Those items will be auctioned through Sater’s Auction on U.S. Highway 2 over the next several weeks. Preview of items will be each Wednesday afternoon and the morning prior to auction on Thursdays.  The auction begins each Thursday at 9:30 a.m. Sale of items will begin the week of July 20, 2015. Proceeds of this sale will benefit programs and exhibits that the Historical Society and Museum are able to provide the community.
