On Sunday afternoon this past weekend, the Big Springs Museum in Caledonia (20 miles southwest of Rochester) was the victim of a theft which was discovered last night. The museum was robbed while staffed, of several military objects including a Civil War Era surgical Kit (Wade and Ford Set C 1861), a Nazi helmet, several WWII era medals, and two Hitler Youth knives. We are trying to locate photographs to share.
The perpetrator distracted our docent. The objects were in locked cases, and the locks were cut.
Please be on the alert for this type of event in your museum.
Thank you.
Jean Guthrie, Big Springs Museum
