I read somewhere that Roy told his son to sell the museum collection if it started costing them money to operate it, so I can understand why they would try to sell some things in order to keep the museum going back in 2001. It's sad that the Branson museum closed due to the recession and I truly hope the Gene Autry museum was able to get some items for their wild west museum/archive.
As wonderful as they both were, not many people were going to the museum. Nobody's fault, it was time to auction. The generation whose memories are intertwined are now elderly. I'm sure the people who bought the objects are beaming with joy(Win/Win for both sides). Like any of us whose loved ones die we keep a few things that are esp important to us personally. Sell or donate the rest. It doesn't mean their family loved them any less.
I wish I could of of met them in person before they died!😢 I wish I was rich I would of bought everything down to trigger! Open up place fans could of visit ! I would bought the ranch! Out of respect for Roy Rogers and his wife dale keep their memories alive!
Roy’s - and Gene’s and a host of others’- saddle was made in nearby Buford, GA by the Bona Allen Co. every time I drive by the old building I think of Roy. Glad he isn’t living through the trials of modern California , though.
The RR trust moved the museum from Victorville, Ca to Branson, Mo in 2003. The Branson location financially failed in less than six years and the entire collection was liquidated at auction in 2010.
They mention at the end of the end of the video at 5:40 that another Stetson from the TV show is in the Roy Rogers Museum. So the museum was still in existence at the time of the auction shown above. The auction of the museum collection came later.

Goes to show us that it matters not, whatever materialistic object that we own, we are only the temporary caretakers. Let's hope these current caretakers are as good as Roy and Dale.
What a buncha crap! I'd say the only one in this video who didn't get ripped off was the couple who got the Lincoln, and even _that_ was on the high side of reasonable.

I met Roy and Dale as a kid. I was living in an orphanage and they visited. Always loved them.

Tragedy. The museum should have stayed in existence.

Why did the son sold away all the stuff?!
