For those
interested in archaeology with local connections, the Edge of the Cedars has
several wonderful new and improved displays. It’s a great way to spend a cold
afternoon on a winter day.
Most recently
Richard and Eve Lyn Perkins donated a collection to the museum. A new Kokopelli display in the lookout corner
tells the story of this Pied Piper of the Pueblo, and a pristine bird flute
found on their property is prominently displayed.
Adjacent, a
beautiful Pueblo display on the second floor has been upgraded and expanded
into a permanent exhibit. This also
features hundreds of objects while telling the history of the Four Corners
area.
The Shumway,
Holliday, Perkins collection has been digitized and viewers can now understand
more of what they are looking at in the large glassed permanent display. By using the adjacent computer, with a simple
click of the mouse you can understand quickly what you’re looking at, where it
was found, and other relevant data. This
visible storage can also be visited on-line:
