WOLFEBORO — The Wolfeboro Board of Selectmen, acting as trustees for the Libby Museum of Natural History, on Wednesday agreed to rescind their previous vote regarding the deaccession of the museum's collection. They also vowed to try to repair their contentious relationship with the Friends of the Libby Museum and to work together to manage the building's collection.

The Libby Museum, which opened in 1912, is the state’s oldest natural history museum and was a legacy of Dr. Henry Libby. In the 1950s, Libby's relatives asked the town to take over as trustees.
