It seems to be somewhere you have to want to go to. Midway between Huntsville, Chattanooga and Birmingham if you were sitting in any of those - could drive over. They now sell online and have a www site.
When I lived in St Paul in the 1970s-80s there were two places that sold surplus property that could be fun to explore - on was called Axman Surplus. NW airlines used them to dispose of stuff - airline plates and silverware, 1st class blankets. Even seats when they changed cabin configs. I had some friends who had a few pairs of international 1st class seats in their basement dens.
