You can buy a US President for your home!

January 4, 2017 9:33am CST
Now, you know there are only a few living Presidents and they don't last forever like a wax one does. So if you are in the market to add something unusual to your family room or office listen up. In November a museum in Gettysburg, PA closed. In the museum are 44 US Presidents, in wax of course! Since they are now closed the question was what to do with the wax figures. The figures will be up for auction on January 11th but you have time to preview them on the 8th. If you are interested in buying a slightly unusual piece of history check out the link.

Would not buy one myself if no one minds. But I think the idea is really unusual too. Who knows who will buy them. I carry Presidents in my purse too as somebody here as mentioned sorry John Roberts is his name but sadly not enough of them either. Still I would not care much for the idea of having any President made in Wax in my living Room. Even so have a great day ahead.

@AbbyGreenhill Had not thought of that you know. Could be right. If its hot enough where you are it would be the big meltdown just imagine you would need a big fridge to put it in to stop it melting too.

I would be afraid it would melt in the southern heat.

A wax statue is weird, that would remind me all the time some horror movies I have seen in the past.
