Held at the museum, the sale invites visitors to explore, discover hidden gems, and support a great cause at the same time. Proceeds from the Attic Sale directly benefit the museum, making it not only a fun shopping experience but also an important fundraiser that helps sustain and grow the museum’s impact in the region.
