Project Description:
|
This project is in very rough form at this time (8/31/00). The museum/historical society will work with local the schools to create a modern version of a 1905 Lewis & Clark Exposition artifact currently on display at the Hood River County Historical Museum. This artifact features student schoolwork on Lewis & Clark and was part of a display of such work from many communities across Oregon. Contact will be made schools in Hood River County to create a similar exhibit using modern technology. It will include work from several grade levels and be presented in a format current to the times. This new exhibit will be housed at the museum and become an artifact for future generations. As the community celebration nears, other events will be coordinated with the chamber of commerce to draw tourist interest in this historical event. |
