A special thanks to Florida Humanities, which awarded us $8,000 in CARES funding for 2020, provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Their generosity helped us get through a very difficult year!

Along with the exhibit, we were thrilled to begin our lecture series again. Our last talk was in February 2020! The Ancient Kingdom of Benin: The Original Wakanda? was presented June 13 to an audience of 30 people. Thanks for your support!

While "out and about" come visit our exhibits, offering informational panels on Juneteenth, Sulphur Springs, and our Vintage Postcard Collection -- all part of our permanent collection.

2020 was a difficult  year! But we are still here, and looking forward to the future. See our 2020 Newsletter.
