The Lawshe Museum will undergo improvements and renovations later this summer. To prepare, the organization has cleaned out many areas of the museum and have a number of items that were used for programming that they no longer need. These items will be made available to the public to bid on during a silent auction. Please note, none of the items included in the silent auction are artifacts from the museum's collection, rather they are items that had been used for programming. Items included in the silent auction will be antique doors and windows from the Old Town exhibit, chandeliers from our gift shop, old lumber, bases for exhibit cases, Minolta camera kits, and much more. All proceeds form the silent auction will be used to improve the museum archive and collection storage.
