On March 3, The Garner Area Historical Society provided a “drop-in” presentation/exhibit in honor of Black History Month at the Southeast Regional Library. The exhibit honored some of Garner's outstanding Black educators from decades past and the importance of the early Rosenwald schools in our area. We also recognized outstanding citizen activists whose tireless efforts helped to enrich the Town of Garner and brought about many positive changes for this community. Thanks to the many contributors who shared photos, documents and other information with us for this exhibit.
Hey Kids, Let’s Take A StoryWalk!
The Museum is pleased to announce upcoming StoryWalks for kids of all ages! What is a StoryWalk, you ask? It “is a creative way to engage children in reading while they move. Pages from a children’s book are displayed individually along a path, wall, or fence—turning a simple walk into a fun literacy adventure,” as explained by storybookwalk.com.
