That’s sad. I loved his museum.

Indeed. The Roy Rogers museum also closed because Rogers has been forgotten by younger generations.

“Indeed. The Roy Rogers museum also closed because Rogers has been forgotten by younger generations.”

The restaurant chain keeps the name alive, for now:

Also, there’s the Roy Rogers website:

Perhaps physical museums are like snail mail: on the way to the dustbin of history. For those who have to be near the physical objects that one could view in a museum, there was an auction - - - which will scatter the contents of the one museum into the private collections and museum collections that are not as topic-specific. So the heritage will not be gone, simply more diffused.
