Salem Museum Post 1

September 25, 2017 by kjallen

My first few weeks at the Salem Museum have been a great experience.  We have constantly been preparing for new exhibits and events, making signs and putting new display cases together.  The Roanoke College exhibit was exciting to work on because of the sheer amount of information that I have learned about my school while working.  There is a lot of History and interesting archive pictures that I knew nothing about.  I have also been able to meet a few Roanoke college Alums who were more than happy to share the crazy college stories they had in their youth.  The Proudest moment for me was the Sports case that me and Tyler helped put together.  We spent a lot of time trying to make the perfect design and in the end I was really happy with how the case, and exhibit as a whole, turned out.

The Roanoke Sports Display case right after we finished getting everything just right.
