"Tomb of the Unknown Soldier" exhibit inspires hundreds
Union Museum of History and Art is proud to have had the opportunity to host the magnificent "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier replica" exhibit, provided by The Exchange Club of Rome, Georgia, from Oct. 24 to 27. A record 475 visitors came to see the Tomb replica and pay their respects to all veterans during the four days.
We want to thank everyone who attended --- visitors make any museum come alive!
A huge thanks to our generous sponsors: The Thomas H. and Mayme P. Scott Foundation, the Albritton-Carter Post 5442 VFW, and Kilpatrick's Funeral Home. And more thanks to the VFW men who stood guard at the Tomb replica day and night while it was in the Museum.
And more thanks to the five generous volunteers from the Exchange Club who brought the Tomb replica here: Bill King, Howard Jackson, Joe Wade, Joyce Johnson, and John Fortune. They gave every visitor a detailed talk about the actual Tomb located in Arlington National Cemetery, its meaning, and its significance to all Americans. And more thanks to the local fishing guides who took four of our Georgia visitors out on Lake D'Arbonne on Wednesday to catch a great mess of fish: Steve Adams, Bradley Isaac, Shane Hodge, and William Whetstone. And then more thanks to restaurateur Tommy Sevin who cooked up all those fish for the guests and VFW guys, AND added gumbo, hush puppies, and fries.
As the Tomb convoy headed into Louisiana from their home in Georgia on Sunday, Oct. 23, they were escorted by law enforcement all the way into Farmerville. A big thanks to the Louisiana State Police, the sheriffs of Madison, Richland, Ouachita, Lincoln parishes, and, of course Union Parish Sheriff Dusty Gates for your splendid procession!

Museum launches First People of Union Parish gallery and the James Harty Memorial Archaeology Research Center
The “First People of Union Parish” permanent exhibit and the James Harty Memorial Archaeology Research Center were officially opened Saturday, June 26, with a festive open house in the Union Museum of History and Art in Farmerville. Some 170 people gathered on Archaeology Day to witness the ribbon-cutting by Lottie Harty and enjoy the many activities. A highlight of the day was an illustrated talk by archaeologist-author Jeffrey Girard, who discussed the earliest inhabitants of this uplands region, especially the Caddo cultures from the west and Lower Mississippian cultures from the east.
Larry Pixley of Bernice demonstrated the many complex tool-making techniques used by prehistoric cultures. Amy Estep prepared Indian fry bread for the crowd and Larry Estep performed music with his Indian flute. Several local enthusiasts brought in their archaeological “finds” for Girard and other experts to identify.
The research center was named in honor of James Harty of Bernice, as he was a devoted avocational archaeologist, teacher, and coach. He heavily researched several prehistoric Indian sites in Union Parish and beyond, with four of his articles published in Louisiana Archaeology magazine. “Coach Harty was an enthusiastic and highly respected researcher in the field of archaeology,” says Tom “Tuffy” Fields, coordinator of the museum’s “First People” collection. “We miss Coach. So we hope this research center will honor his memory.”
The exhibit currently includes artifacts and other items from the James Harty Family, Cal Colvin, David Chrisman, Wayne Abercrombie, Carol Jo Johnston, Larry Pixley, Michael Christian, Gene BeDoit, Tom Fields, Richard Wolf, and Jean and Steve Jones. Artist Hooshang Khorasani has six large paintings of plains Indians on display. David Taylor’s mural, “Day’s Work,” which will be on permanent display, depicts Caddo Indian house-building and pottery-making. The museum is grateful to these entities for making the day possible: Tom and Bonnie Fields, Claiborne Electric Operation Round Up, the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of either the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities or the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The public is invited to visit the “First People of Union Parish” permanent exhibit, in addition to other rotating and permanent displays. Admission is free. Hours: 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday; 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. For more information, call 318-982-8020 or visit www.unionmuseumofhistoryandart.org.
