Special
Tour of OHA includes presentations related to our Civil War Theme for August
23—24: on topics such as the Underground Railroad Exhibit, the Jerry rescue
film, the Freedom Bound multimedia presentation, and “Faces” (carvings
discovered in the basement of the Mission restaurant which was formerly an
abolitionist church). The special tour
will end with Scott Peal, OHA’s Education Director, doing an interpretation
of abolitionist Samuel May. (It is hoped that this experience will
encourage teachers to bring their students to the OHA during the school
year). |
