Exhibit Opening for Making a Museum and The Falls at the Pettigrew Home & Museum

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of when Senator Richard F. Pettigrew gave his museum to the City of Sioux Falls, the Siouxland Heritage Museums has been working on two exhibits at the Pettigrew Home and Museum. In Making a Museum, we will recreate the various interpretations of the Pettigrew Museum from Senator Pettigrew’s original collection, to the collection of the curators who lived and worked there, and finally with the formation of the Siouxland Heritage Museums. The other upcoming exhibit at the Pettigrew Museum is about the Falls of the Big Sioux River. The Falls will look at how the people of Sioux Falls have changed and used the Falls for both industry and recreation. Join us for the opening reception of both exhibits at the Pettigrew Home and Museum on November 19th from 4:30-6:30. Admission is free!
