Notes From Elsewhere
William Henry Blackmore (2 August 1827 - 12 April 1878) was an English lawyer who gained a fortune by exploiting a large social network as an investment promoter. He used his fortune for philanthropy, primarily centred on his interest in Native Americans, but came to a tragic end as the result of a failed investment deal related to the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad
Founder of the Blackmore Museum
Originating from the 1860's, the Blackmore Museum was founded by Salisbury businessman William Blackmore to house a collection of archaeological finds from Ohio, USA. The collection stayed at the Blackmore Museum until the 1960's. In the late 1980's, the conversion was completed to create four apartments.
