| In Summer 2008, Old Trails Museum will host "Between Fences", a part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and the Arizona Humanities Council. Title of the local exhibit is "Lines in the Sand, Fences, Trails, Rails and Boundaries." The local component of the exhibit will explore land use with, without and beyond fences. Displays will highlight forms of demarcation that have defined the Winslow area, oral histories from various culture groups and live entertainment each Saturday from opening day through July 26. The exhibit will debut in Winslow June 21, 2008, and close August 2, 2008. Please make plans to visit us during this special time. For updated information call or email Old Trails Museum, or go to www.snowdriftart.com/BetweenFenceedit.html. |
| Old Trails Museum is proud to have a presence on the Arizona Memory Project, an online exhibit sponsored by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records. "Old Trails Collection Highlights" showcases a sampling of seven exhibits with 51 items; a second collection, 'Trading Post Families of Winslow" features individuals who helped settle our part of the Frontier. The newest collection is the AT&SF Railway Company Collection. We have much to share and plan on adding more in 2008. Go to http://azmemory.lib.az.us. |
