This week we finaly started on setting up the new exhibit. This exhibit is showcasing a lot of the historcal spots around Salem this include the parks, the tannery, the pharmacys, and many more places. I also finished looking for more artifacts from places like Dixie Caverns and Point Pleasant house to put in their. I also started doing research for my own case that I get to currate by myself. I desided to do it on the Old Salem Courhouse which is now West Hall at Roanoke College today. I am also am still looking through yearbooks when I have spare time and helped with a field trip again.
One thing I learned while researching my own topic is that it is hard to find one with enough content and artifactes to use. I searched historical buildings for a while until I settled on the Old Salem Courthouse. Still there is not much their on that building either. But, I’m glad I researched it because most of my classes are in that building and I wanted to find out everything that happened their.
