  • 🌟 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.
