The exhibition will open with a program on Thursday, October 10, from 5:00-7:00 p.m., and local performer and artist Art Barajas will provide live entertainment on the Courthouse Museum steps at 5:30 p.m. The exhibit will run through February 16, 2025, so there’s plenty of time to experience the history and artistry of our region. We’re excited to share this heartfelt tribute to the landmarks that have shaped our community.
