The Upcountry History Museum will host The Power of Children: Making A Difference from April 7, 2018 - May 23, 2018. This request for funds will support humanities programs related to the exhibit. The Power of Children facilitates a focus on the connections between history and current events. Through programming, the Museum will continue to invite community members into its safe space to facilitate conversations about historical and current events in our community, state, and world. With the intention that visitors will make these connections and feel empowered to act on them, our programming will be geared toward the central idea of community impact – both collective and individual. The Museum plans to structure the exhibition experience as a platform for examining community issues. The stories presented in The Power of Children supports the Museum’s objective of being a learning institution that helps its community address the challenges of current and future decades.
