About the Rome Exhibit~
Come with us as we unveil the sights and secrets of this 2,500-year-old city that attracts millions of visitors annually. You will “visit” tourist favorites like the Vatican and the Trevi Fountain and marvel at a hand-made Roman mosaic. You’ll discover Rome’s amazing history, see the sites and miniature models, peek at Roman coins, and marvel at intricate arches and aqueducts. You’ll learn the secrets of Rome’s concrete, and the “quest for truth” legend (Bocca della verita’).

About Honor thy Father & Mother Exhibit~
This exhibit features the drawings of local artist Megan Stanley. After interviewing three Herrin families, Megan Stanley created a unique and special drawing of each of the families. Through her art, she relates the stories of the immigrants who came to America, settled in Herrin and passed love and traditions through the generations. View these one-of-a-kind drawings and meet the artist, Megan Stanley.
