MUSEUM CURRENT FEATURED EXHIBITS:
"Women Warriors: Resilience, Leadership, Activism"
2021 marked the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment being passed, which established American women’s constitutional right to vote. However, this act did not guarantee the right to vote for all women, mainly just white women, due to enduring systemic racism which still frequently prevented people of color from voting. It wasn’t until after the passing of the 1965 Voter Rights Act that this really began to change. "The Great Native American Toolkit"
This exhibit features prehistoric stone tools and pottery used by the ancient Mississippian (Mound Builder) cultures, Northeastern Woodland Lenape / Delaware / Iroquois, and Anasazi / Pueblo of the Southwest, and ancient bone fishing tools carved by Alaskan Natives. The Great Native American Toolkit tells the story of the creative genius of North America’s first peoples and their ability to survive and thrive using similar tools made from regional resources.
