Come view our New Deal for the Hills and Valleys Exhibit!When we plan new exhibits we look for inspiration from items in our collection. The mural, "Men Working in Slate Quarry," by Martha Levy is an iconic piece of art in the Slate Valley and hangs proudly in our museum. The mural, which is a WPA funded piece of art, prompted us to explore the New Deal and its affect on the Slate Valley.
This exhibit looks at other WPA funded projects in the area and how the people of the Slate Valley reacted. We hope that you'll join us in stepping back to the Great Depression and New Deal Era in exploration of what it meant for the Slate Valley. |
Be sure to visit our Calendar of Events to view all of the exciting events and activities we have planned for 2016. As a part of this exhibit we will have our very own "Fireside Chat" Lectures, a summer book club, and music and dance events! Immerse yourself in the Great Depression and New Deal Era through our events to gain a new perspective on the Slate Valley!
