Join us to celebrate and say goodbye to our "Americans" exhibit from the Smithsonian!
It's the last day for the "Americans" exhibit at Thistle Cottage! Join us for this last chance to experience this fantastic exhibit before it leaves our county.
Light refreshments will be provided.
Once "Americans" leaves Thistle Cottage, it will travel to the next stop on its tour of Kentucky, the Hickman County Public Library in Clinton, Ky.
"Americans" explores the history, impact, and contributions of American Indians locally and on a national scale.
The exhibition is part of Museum on Main Street, a unique collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES), state humanities councils across the nation and local host institutions.
