Museum presents "Trash or Treasure"
Did you know that curbside garbage pick-up is a pretty new
concept? Even up until the 1920’s people threw all
their garbage in a hole in the yard or the outhouse. Archaeologists

help us understand how people lived long ago. Let’s
find out for ourselves how to uncover clues about people
by what they threw away. This program is designed for kids
ages 5 - 10. Cost is $7 per child ($5 for museum members

No. 3 with dynamic Gold medal pianist Anna Bulkina and also
features the rarely heard Mozart motet Misericordias Domini
and the immensely popular sublime Faure Requiem, combining
for an extraordinary concert of contrasts and emotion. Please
