The Swannanoa Valley Museum is always looking for new exhibits to display:

“One Hundred Years of Scouting” honors the centennials of both the Boy Scouts (2011) and Girl Scouts (2012). Vintage uniforms and memorabilia collected from residents and the local Scout councils will be on display.

“Brother, Brother, Brother, War is Not the Answer” will be new this year as a Museums in Partnership themed exhibit. It is part of a national commemoration of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War. Although there was no battle action in the Swannanoa Valley, many men from the Valley served in the war, and they will have letters from them and their families as part of the exhibit.

“Pathways from the Past, Pathways to the Future” is an update of the Museum’s permanent exhibit and will interpret the collection and the story of the development of the Swannanoa Valley since prehistory along the theme of “Pathways.”
