The Smithsonian exhibit, curated by William Withuhn, takes us through the journey of how we came to this place called America and how our journeys did not end or even begin with a boat trip. Everyone has a powerful journey story somewhere deep in their own heritage. Do we know that story? Tales of abandonment, perseverance, longing and hope are woven tightly into our national identity. The Journey Stories exhibit allows us to examine the individual threads whether broken, frayed, or in tact, to see the profound sense of liberty that ultimately stitches every American citizen together. Museum on Main Street is a partnership of the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, the Federation of State Humanities Councils, and state humanities council?s nationalwide. Museum on Main Street combines the prestige of Smithsonian exhibitions, the program expertise of state humanities councils, and the remarkable volunteerism and unique histories of small rural towns.
