The Beaufort History Museum “Piece of Our Past” Auction
On Thursday, March 14th, 2024, at the home of Phil and Amelie Cromer, members and friends of the Museum spent an exquisite evening filled with nostalgia and history at the “Piece of Our Past” Auction, a fundraiser for the BHM. ️This remarkable event offered an exclusive opportunity to acquire artifacts and treasures from a range of memorabilia and historical objects stored in the museum’s archives, as well as two exotic trips for four to Mexico and Havana. Guests engaged in the thrill of bidding for these remarkable artifacts as our knowledgeable auctioneer guided us through the process, an exciting experience for all attendees.
Held in the backyard of the Cromer’s Spanish Point home, the event sold out of its 100 allotted tickets more than a week before the auction, and then generated over $11,000 in donation income for the Museum.
