How much do you know about the history of your hometown? This exhibit celebrates local culture by delving deep into the past of Northampton County. It takes a look at early settlers and local culture. This hands-on, interactive and discussion-provoking exhibit strives to celebrate diversity in the community.
Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society curator Brittany Merriam calls Destination: Northampton County, which opened last month, a permanent exhibit, saying it'll be around for at least 10 years. “This is an exhibition that has been three years in the making,” she says. “[It is] focused entirely on immigration and diversity.”
Some of the educational themes include ethnicity and race, working conditions, immigration, military conflict and economic stability. Attendees will be tested on how much they know about the history of their home and indulge in academic conversations with others from the community.
