Bird Taxidermy Migrates to New Home
Our bird taxidermy specimens are on the move! We’ve moved and unpacked 442 birds; that’s a lot of feathers! Now, our most fragile specimens are stored in a stable environment.
A new exhibit opened at the History Center with the artifacts discussed during the construction of the John Rankin House Visitor Center in 2017. The exhibit focuses on Feature 1, which is midden (or trash pit) containing ceramics, buttons, glass objects, and more. Feature 1 most likely dates from the 1860s to the early 20th century.
Come see and learn more about Feature 1 and it’s artifacts in the exhibit located in the “New Acquisition’s” Case.
