Museum After Dark: Behind-the-Scenes Tours

The Heritage Center is OPEN LATE on Friday, January 21st. We are keeping the doors open until 9:00 p.m.!

There are THREE THINGS to do while you’re here!

1. Behind-the-Scenes Tours! Take a special guided tour of our collection with Museum Director Jake Krumwiede and Archivist Aaron Preston to see some never-before-seen artifacts and manuscripts from our collection!

2. Come see the NEW special exhibit that is opening at the Heritage Center titled, “All Aboard: Examining the Orphan Trains.” Curator of Collections Amy Johnson will be on hand to talk about the creation of the exhibit.

3. See a special LIVE performance and presentation by Phil Lancaster and Alison Moore in the Village Church. The one-hour multimedia program combines live music, a video montage with archival photographs and interviews of survivors, and a dramatic reading of the 2012 novel “Riders on the Orphan Train” by award-winning author Alison Moore.

And, of course, the permanent galleries and the historic village will be open for self-guided tours.
