Animas Museum: Exhibits & Presention(s)

For 2013 our local history museum will again offer interesting and educational exhibits related to the area's history during its formative years.  There will be 3 special stations to visit, allowing for small group interaction (not a set big presentation time).  The theme will be death and dying Victorian style and will be called "An Afternoon of Mourning".   There will be a hairwork demo, exploration of funerary art symbolism and one additional element on the topic.
