An Indigenous America Exhibit Opening Reception at the Old Courthouse Museum

Before there was a United States of America, a diverse group of people populated this land. Divided by tribal lines and traditional lands, indigenous people hunted, farmed, traded, worshipped, lived, and died according to their customs. When Europeans arrived in North America and expanded into traditional Native people’s homelands, their ways of life changed forever. In some instances, we know little about these early cultures and have only a handful of artifacts to examine what their lives may have been like. However, most of these cultures persevered, overcame, and survived. Their material culture speaks to a world filled with home, artistry, utility, and beauty. The Native people of this country are still with us today, and their history is a vibrant one.

Join us for the exhibit opening reception at the Old Courthouse Museum on Thursday, August 14th from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Admission is free.
