NOTICE OF INTENT TO CLAIM TITLE-SHIP OF ABANDONED ARTIFACT
March 17, 2026 — Please be advised that the Heritage North Museum intends to claim possession of a 1920s-era, handmade white beaded "going away" dress, originally belonging to Ida Minerva (see above image).
This item was loaned to us in 1998 by Carol King. Despite our best efforts, we have not been able to successfully contact Carol or her next of kin.
Those with legitimate claims to the artifact listed above should contact the Heritage North Museum immediately, with proof of relation to the original lender. If you or someone you know may legally reclaim this artifact, or know contact information for the above, please do so by reaching out to the Museum directly and speaking with our Executive Director, Sarah Brown.
Failure to claim ownership within 90 days of this notice will result in the Heritage North Museum taking permanent title-ship of the artifact.
