A traveling exhibit from the prestigious Smithsonian Institution is spending the next few weeks at the River Discovery Center in Paducah, Ky. Titled "Crossroads: Change in Rural America," the exhibit is presented in cooperation with the Smithsonian's Museum on Main Street and the Kentucky Humanities Council. "It relates to the museum's mission because we're teaching about the importance of our inland waterways, and most of our rivers are bordered on rural communities," River Discovery Center Executive Director Julie Harris said. Focusing largely on the second half of the 20th century and beyond, "Crossroads: Change in Rural America" uses story boards, graphic panels, artifacts, interactive components and videos to talk about the evolving landscape of rural life. The information is geared toward both children and adults and is self-paced. |
