  • Though it’s Friday the 13th 🎱, we’re hoping for some 🍀 good luck getting information of these fresh young graduates. We believe this is the Springdale High School class of 1937, but beyond that, we’re stumped. What are your thoughts on this 📷 #PhotoIDFriday?

  • 🌟 The Shiloh Museum will be 🔐 closed through mid-March, and here’s why! We can’t wait to re-open! We’ll have a much-improved reception area, bathrooms, accessibility, and more. Make a point to stop by this spring. ❤️ We’re building history!

  • Widowed in 1938, “Mama Susie,” as Susan Marshbanks Manuel was called, operated lodging out of two spare rooms in her home at 313 N. Olive Avenue, shown here. It was listed in The Negro Motorist Green Book, commonly called 📗 The Green Book, a directory of safe places for Black motorists to lodge and dine while traveling during segregation.

Marshbanks’ story, and others in her family, are told in Shiloh’s exhibit, One Step Higher: Five Generations of a Black Ozark Family, which will return to viewing by the public once museum renovations are completed in mid-March.

Widowed in 1938, “Mama Susie,” as Susan Marshbanks Manuel was called, operated lodging out of two spare rooms in her home at 313 N. Olive Avenue, shown here. It was listed in The Negro Motorist Green Book, commonly called 📗 The Green Book, a directory of safe places for Black motorists to lodge and dine while traveling during segregation.

Marshbanks’ story, and others in her family, are told in Shiloh’s exhibit, One Step Higher: Five Generations of a Black Ozark Family, which will return to viewing by the public once museum renovations are completed in mid-March.
