Journey Stories tells how we and our ancestors came to America. From Native Americans to new American citizens and regardless of our ethnic or racial background, everyone has a story to tell.

Our history is filled with stories of people leaving behind everything - families and possessions - to reach a new life in another state, across the continent, or even across an ocean.

Many chose to move, searching for something better in a new land. Others had no choice, like enslaved Africans captured and relocated to a strange land and bravely asserting their own cultures, or like Native Americans already here, who were often violently removed by newcomers.

This exhibition runs from January 30 - March 14, 2010.

Center Hours:

  • 9 AM - 5 PM: Tuesdays - Fridays
  • 10 AM - 2 PM: Saturdays
  • Closed Sundays; Mondays by chance or appointment
