An enormous and heartfelt THANK YOU to all of the hundreds of visitors to the museum's recent exhibit, "Tracing the Indians of Early Union Parish," and to all the generous people who shared their treasures for this beautiful remembrance of the very earliest residents of our area. The exhibit drew 801 visits (wow!!) over its 10-week run; 297 of those visits (that's 37%) were by people living outside of Union Parish.
We are grateful to CenturyLink for generously sponsoring this exhibit and all its associated events. Special thanks go to James Harty, Fred Stewart, and Larry Pixley who shared their vast knowledge of prehistoric archaeology, and thereby shaped the content and quality of the displays. We thank James Harty, Carla Welch, Michael Christian , and Larry Pixley for leading workshops, and we thank Diana Greenlee for speaking about Poverty Point. Thanks also to Stephanie Antley Herrmann and Union Parish Library for donating six books that were given away to individuals whose names were drawn from among the visitor sign-ins. And of course, we thank Alan Futch for staging this exhibit so beautifully.
Applause for these who shared their artifacts or crafts:
Joe Booth
Gail Chevalier
Michael Christian, “Lone Eagle”
