After a lot of hard work earlier in the year, the Williamson County Historical Society has completed the remodeling of our Native American room at the museum. All of the artifact display cases were reworked with lighting added and a number of informational displays were added to showcase the presence of natives in our county for the past several thousand years.
The museum has been gifted a couple of large artifact collections over the years and the new displays highlight the significance of these historic items and the Native American connection to the natural world. A multimedia display has been added to illustrate local native history and their daily lifestyles, tools, food, weapons and shelter.
The museum will remain open six days a week from Monday through Saturday from 9:30 till 3 PM until Thanksgiving after which the museum will reduce its hours over the winter to Saturdays only. The public is always welcome to drop by the museum at 105 S. Van Buren Street in Marion and take a walk through local history.
