Of Baskets and Borers: The Past, Present, and Future of Indigenous Basketry in the White Mountains
Dates: May 31 - September 14
The exhibition will explore the past, present, and future of Indigenous basketry in the White Mountains region. As a museum about a place, our exhibitions seek to present stories about the people, plants, and animals of our region. In this case, we will be exploring the intersection between Indigenous basketry, brown ash trees, and the Emerald Ash Borer.
- Current Plymouth State donors will be sent a postcard and email invitation with instructions to RSVP. If you're a donor and misplaced or did not receive the postcard or email, please reach out to us at alumni@plymouth.edu.
- Alumni who are not yet donors, or who still need to renew this year, are invited to join our community of donors with a registration of $50, which includes $20 for the BBQ and a $30 tax deductible gift to the Plymouth Opportunity Scholarship Angel Fund. Register Here.
- Celebrate your Class Reunion as part of our Donor Thank You Barbecue. The Class of 1974 will be sent a letter and email invitation with instructions to RSVP.
