The Museum of Chincoteague is currently raising money in hopes of reconstructing the beloved Beebe Barn, which burned down in 2019. Until Saturday, the museum will sell artwork that uses the siding of the original ranch to fund reconstruction.

A pony that is purchased but stays with the wild horses, also known as a "buy back," is normally auctioned off after the pony swim. However this year the firemen decided to do that early to help a local organization that is special to the 'Misty of Chincoteague' book.

One stallion has been removed from the Chincoteague herd due to believed sterility. Additionally, one foal recently passed away shortly after birth.

Many people came together Friday morning to make Chincoteague history. After months of fundraising and community support, the Museum of Chincoteague Island officially bought the Beebe Ranch.

The Museum of Chincoteague has raised over $450,000 of their $625,000 goal to purchase Beebe Ranch, meaning that the Ranch is now under contract.

While in the midst of a large fundraising campaign, the Museum of Chincoteague announced Monday that it is under contract to purchase the Beebe Ranch.
