SALISBURY — Dave and Sherry Rice kept making trips back and forth to their truck.
“There were some very unusual things,” Rice said this morning, carrying an 80-quart galvanized tub full of, for lack of a better term, “artifacts” from the Blackmer House yard sale.
Historic Salisbury Foundation announced last week it had reached an agreement with Jonathan Blackmer to buy the 1820-21 house at 112 S. Fulton St.
The foundation is expected to close on the house Monday. Meanwhile, Blackmer is holding a three-day yard sale, which started today, to clear out many remaining items from the house and garage.
This yard sale is particularly interesting because the house — damaged extensively in a Dec. 1, 1984, fire — was the longtime Salisbury residence of actors Sidney and Suzanne Kaaren Blackmer.
There will be more on the yard sale in Friday’s edition of the Post.
