Have you ever wanted to own your very own tourist town? A place famous for its antique shops, civil war memorabilia and quirky attractions? On July 22nd, much of Strasburg, Virginia will be up for bid including the former Museum of American Presidents and the Jeane Dixon Museum.
The auction is a result of the death of Washington D.C. banker and entrepreneur Leo Bernstein whose affections for history and the Shenandoah Valley led him to buy up much of Strasburg that he parlayed into a regional center for tourism and antique shopping.
Included in the auction are Virginia’s largest antique center, a 14-room historic estate with carriage house, and the buildings that housed the American President and Dixon museums. Most of the properties are selling absolute with no reserve prices.
