WAYNE, N.J., Nov. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Passaic County, NJ has selected GovDeals to offer several historic artifacts from the collections of the Dey Mansion Washingtons Headquarters in Wayne, NJ for sale to the public. The unique artifacts date to the 18th and 19th century and were a part of a larger collection from the Dey Mansion. The artifacts will be at auction until November 22, 2021, on GovDeals, a leading online marketplace for government agencies and educational institutions to offer their surplus for sale.

The Dey Mansion Washingtons Headquarters is listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places and served as Washingtons Headquarters during the summer and fall of 1780.
