New community-curated exhibit in Staunton displays history in the making
The Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library in Staunton is doing something new. It is an exhibit, not about century-old history, but instead, it is about modern-day experiences, and the history being made right now by people in the Shenandoah Valley.
The sauce recipe, toilet paper, a broken controller, a facemask, and more. They are all a part of Making History in the Present... a Community-Curated Exhibit.
They include stories about the Vigil for Justice in Staunton right after the murder of George Floyd, as well as the two flash floods that ripped through downtown Staunton last August. The library is still collecting history on an interactive board.
Making History in the Present... a Community-Curated Exhibit will be on display at the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library in Staunton through March 2022.
