       From  Oct. 20 to Dec. 2, 2017, Union Museum of History and Art featured a spectacular display in celebration of Farmerville's 175th anniversary.  More than 330 visitors enjoyed the exhibit that contained a wealth of large photographs, original paintings, and artifacts that helped tell the town's long, interesting story.  The exhibit was sponsored by Bruce E. Hampton.
​    As part of the exhibit, the museum showed its newly released video documentary "Memories of Farmerville," featuring interviews with four individuals, plus historic photographs.  Our thanks to Kerry Hill of Hill Oil Company for sponsoring the video project, and to Charles Paxton for producing the memorable video.  Copies of the 40-minute video are available for a donation of $10. Or tune in to the museum's You Tube channel at
