NOW ON DISPLAY 

"Lifemaps & Legacies," our newest temporary exhibit in our mini-gallery. These visual biographies were created by local senior citizens under the guidance of local artist Jeanie Cooper. The "seniors" then met with Wabash High School juniors, who wrote biographies to accompany the artwork. This is a great tribute to some of the elder statesmen of our community. On display through April 27th.
