Traveling Pioneer Exhibit

Pioneer Exhibit

What was it like to live in Perry County in the pioneer days?

We try to answer that question through a traveling pioneer exhibit the Museum can take on location to area schools, festivals, library, and other venues. The display features five panels that cover an aspect of pioneer living. A sixth display focuses specifically on the history and formation of Perry County.

The display can be set up along a wall in a line, or as stand alone clusters that people can circle around to see each side.

The exhibit also features hands-on activities for children that includes rug weaving with looms, clothes washing with tubs and washboards, carding sheep's wool, preparing and kneading dough, and primitive children toys.

Contact the Perry County Museum for availability and questions.

The Pioneer Exhibit was created with financial support from the Perry County Community Foundation.
