Fundraising Auction and Social Oct. 22, 6:30 at Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum

Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum will hold its first fundraising auction and social this Saturday, Oct. 22 at 6:30 at the museum at 18 Highlawn Road, Warner, NH.  Peter Smith Auctioneer Services will be on hand for the live portion of the auction.  Silent auction tables will be set up in the museum galleries.  Refreshments will be served and there will be live music at this gala event.  

The museum recently purchased the buildings and grounds at 18 Highlawn Road that have been home to the museum for the past 21 years. This purchase will ensure that New Hampshire’s only museum and educational center devoted to the art, culture and long history of North American Indians will have a permanent home.  The first $10,000 raised in the auction will be committed to the land purchase.

Items for auction include signed limited edition artwork by Native and non-Native artists, snowshoes, a beaded cradleboard by Andrew Bullock, ash and sweetgrass baskets, silver, turquoise and beaded jewelry, dreamcatchers, a commissioned painting by Betsy Janeway, boat rental and rides, life tickets, a day in the studio of David Lamb, gift certificates to local businesses and much, much more.  See a complete listing on our website.

Admission to the auction is $10.00 for museum members and $15.00 for non-members.  Consider becoming a member today!

Tickets can be purchased at our online gift shop, or by calling (603) 456-2384.
