No, they aren’t planning to auction off the Sargent House Museum, but they are holding an Ebay auction to benefit the Sargent House Museum.
From Judith Nast-
The Sargent House Museum is running an auction on Ebay from June 19
through June 30. Proceeds will go to the Sargent House’s conservation
and educational projects. Please consider making a bid on some
wonderful items: paintings, private tours, antique botanical prints,
sailing ’round trips, and more.
