When I heard about the Caldwell County Historical Museum, I did not know what to expect. At first I thought it was going to be a room filled with artifacts and documents.

I found that the museum had items such as Native American spears and arrow points, maps, grants, and deeds. There was information that informed about the founding of Caldwell County. Along with this information that told me about the foundation of caldwell county, there was information that showed the establishment of Lenoir. The pictures and information was a great way for me to learn about the foundation of Caldwell County as well as the establishment of Lenoir. I had not expected the museum to hold this information.

In this article, Dorothy Lippert, a Native American, covers the complex dynamic between Native Americans and museum collections, more specifically the archeologists that recover and archive the so called artifacts. This complex relationship between the artifacts, with the scientific importance and ability to educate, and the cultural importance of the artifacts to native peoples is one that is forever changing. Curators are in charge of putting together exhibits, but as Mrs. Lippert examines, the archaeologists that collect and find these artifacts have a unique relationship with these items. This relationship is unique because once archaeologists have control of an item, they decide what the item will be called, how they will classify the

Last weekend I went to visit my one of my friends, who recently got a teaching job, in Rome, Georgia.

Chicago has been one of the most dangerous cities in the world for many years. One of the times that stand out is the Prohibition Era in the 1920s. This Era is key to the history of this great city in many ways. It brought some of the most interesting criminal tactics, and one of the most powerful government entities: the FBI. Al Capone was at the forefront of the socio-political scene of that time.
From my visit to The Native American Voices Exhibit at The University of Pennsylvania a there was a collection of historical memorabilia that indeed celebrates this community. The presentation as a whole set out descriptive displays that certainly memorialized The Native Americans as well as those Native Americans (The Lenape) who were the first to live locally in Delaware. The objects that I chose to take a picture of were at first very visually appealing. After taking a deeper look into those objects, I realized that all had significant value to this community.
I was attracted by this piece among all the photographs in the museum. The obvious symmetric glass building in the front with a blurry reflection of other buildings that cought my eyes. The piece is named “Reflection, Old St.Louis County Courthouse,” and photographed by William Clift in 1976. It is a 30x40 cm black and white photography and the medium is Gelatin silver.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about you visit to the National Guard Memorial Museum. Over the past week I have learned that museums are so much more than what I had originally considered them to be; an institution. I never knew that a zoo, aquarium, or circus is technically considered a museum, wow! I have gathered so far that a museum can exhibit anything of important pertaining to humanity. I have visited many museums over the past 11 years because of my husband’s military career.
I hope to one day visit this historic site and see it in person, hopefully get to learn more about my roots and

Over thanksgiving break, my friend and I decided to go visit the California Museum near downtown. After we purchased our entrance, the first thing that caught my eye was the live size bear in front of the museum. This was my first time at that specific museum so it caught my eye more than my friend. Since he has been there already, he showed me around and we went outside to see the giant Constitution Wall. The wall was also fascinating because it was huge and it had phrases from the California Constitution.
