Traveling exhibits of the people, by the people, and for the people

History: Made By You is our new interactive, outreach program through which we work hand-in-hand with community groups to create community-focused traveling exhibits. 

Through a three-hour public forum, we will engage the participants in conversations about  changes in their community: what are the roots of these changes? How were these changes dealt with in the past? From this conversation, participants will choose one topic to focus on for their exhibit. Guided by the professional SOHS staff, volunteers will research the historic roots, collect artifacts, and select photographs. The exhibit is then installed in public, prominent locations throughout Jackson County.
