EXHIBIT DATES: 11/23/2019 - 06/06/2021 Our "Mighty Mississippi" exhibit puts the grandeur of North America’s greatest river in context with the cultures that have grown and thrived around it, from the largest and most influential American Indian centers of the Mississippian cultural period; to the vast European and Indian fur trade networks that forever changed the continent; to the revolutionary steamboats, factories, and immigration of the Industrial Age. It also sheds light on how sustaining surrounding communities has long depended on wisely caring for the river environment and its resources.
