A court-brokered agreement has been worked out in Greene County that will allow a nonprofit group to continue displaying historical artifacts from the Greensboro area.

The state attorney general's office and the county's president judge were both involved in efforts to resolve a dispute involving Greensboro council, the Nathanael Greene Historical Foundation, and the nonprofit Monon Center Inc.

The controversy began after the Monon Center's revenue dipped so low it could not operate the museum. It announced plans to auction the artifacts to establish a scholarship fund for high school students, but that plan was opposed by council and the foundation.

Under the terms of the agreement, Greensboro council will share space in the building with the center, which will have a new board of directors. Money to put the museum back in working order will come from a payment council made to the center when it seized the facility by eminent domain in 2007.
