For Closure
There was also an explanation given by Rogers Jr. for the closure. “For one thing, the economy; people are just not moving as often. Dad’s followers are becoming older and worried about their retirement savings. In this current economy, everybody is worried for their future,” he added. “Second, with our high budgetary commitments, we cannot afford to incur debt to hold the doors open.”

What Dad Would Have Wanted
What his father would have wanted Rogers Jr. to do has been broached by the younger Rogers. “My father always said, ‘If the museum is costing you money, liquidate it and carry on.’ Myself and my family have worked for over 15 years to keep the museum and collection together, so it is impossible to imagine that it will be gone soon,” he said.
