Los Alamos Historical Society News:

The Los Alamos Historical Society will host a Yard Sale and Silent Auction to benefit the J. Robert Oppenheimer House 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 25.

This event will take place outside the Oppenheimer House on the corner of Peach Street and Bathtub Row. 

The sale includes items from the estate of Helene Suydam. Helene was a collector, so the items include many interesting things from her 60 years traveling around the world: pottery, books, dishes, furniture, Persian rugs, vinyl albums, artwork, Nambe ware and much more.

“Every penny raised during this event will go toward the restoration needed to open the house to the public, and donations will be accepted,” said Los Alamos Historical Society Executive Director Liz Martineau.

To learn more about the Oppenheimer House, visit the society’s website at losalamoshistory.org.

Anyone curious about what was in the house or who wants to help open this historic property to the public is invited to join the Los Alamos Historical Society Saturday, Sept. 25. The bidding will close at 12:30 p.m. for the Silent Auction.

Can’t make the sale? The historical society has an account set up at Enterprise Bank and Trust specifically for Oppenheimer House donations, or give online at losalamoshistory.org.
