In 1967, Dick and Pokey Motley began Motley’s Auctions in a Chester, Virginia dairy barn. They continued operations over the years at several locations, including the renowned U.S. Route 1 “Wigwam” in Glen Allen, Virginia, just north of Richmond. The Wigwam auctions continue to be remembered for both the unique items sold and the entertainment value the auctions provided.
