Dickson Mounds Museum invites you to attend the annual Open House on August 19, 2012 from 1:00-3:00 p.m. At 3:00 p.m., Museum Director Dr. Michael Wiant will outline plans for new exhibits and research in a Museum auditorium presentation.
Museum staff will be available throughout the building, including “behind-the-scenes” in the collection and the archaeology laboratory, to talk about 2011/2012 accomplishments and plans for future projects. There will also be “hands-on” activities for all ages. Among exciting developments are discoveries made during the Morton site excavation, research on the Dickson Mounds cemetery, new educational programs, plans for new exhibits that will feature the history of Dickson Mounds Museum, exhibits that will incorporate animal mounts, and a more complete story of Native American history in the Illinois River Valley.
