Journey Stories is coming!
The Carver County Historical Society is proud to announce that we will be hosting the
Smithsonian Institution's traveling exhibit Journey Stories. The Carver County
Historical Society was selected as one of five sites in the state to host this exhibit.
Journey Stories will open at the Carver County Historical Society on December 11,
2010 and will run through January 22, 2011.
 
Journey Stories is the tale of mobility in
American history. Be it the story of the Native Americans who first
inhabited the land, or the recent waves of immigrants, everyone has
a story to tell. The modes of transportation are just as varied as
the reasoning behind them. Journey Stories seeks to unlock
the mysteries of how people came to settle in America using engaging
images with audio and artifacts to tell the individaul stories that
illustrate the critical roles travel and movement have played in
building our diverse American society.
The Minnesota Humanities Center has made this exhibit
at the Carver County Historical Society possible. Journey
Stories is part of Museums on Main Street, a collaboration
between the Smithsonian Institution and the Federation of State
Humanities Councils. Support for Museums on Main Street has been
provided by the United States Congress.
