I believe my grandmother, Frances Thorne Horne, may have been the first white woman to visit Machu Picchu during an expedition her father George A Thorne arranged led by Hiram Bingham. I had her copy of Bingham's book, Lost City of the Incas, as well as her hand-written and type-written notes from the journey, but they got lost in a move, though I did scan her notes and have those scans.

Hi Chris, I’m not sure. I believe most if not all of artefacts have been returned to Peru. See more details here: https://peabody.yale.edu/collections/archives/biography/hiram-bingham-iii

I'm born and raised here in New Haven, and I always have been interested in Machu Pichu. Thank you
