  • 🌟 While the museum building is temporarily closed for renovations, we’re celebrating Black History Month by highlighting elements of our exhibit One Step Higher: Five Generations of a Black Ozark Family throughout February.

Shown here is Betty Hayes Davis, who grew up in Fayetteville, working in a laboratory in New York City in this undated image. Her collection and family stories serve as the basis of the exhibit. One of her driving missions in life was to ensure that Fayetteville’s Black history is not lost.

  • 🌟 Just a reminder that Shiloh's main museum building will be closed starting Thursday, February 5, through March 17.  The building is getting its first major upgrade since it was built in 1991. We look forward to providing a better visitor experience, as a result.

In the meantime, we’re presenting an online workshop on how to research the history of your home for February 25, and we will be opening the doors to the public our 1871 Shiloh Meeting Hall in early March.

Stay tuned for further details. We’re building history!
