  • 🌟 This scene featuring Gentry American Legion Post 159 members is a bit somber with a hint of optimism in this ✋ swearing in ceremony. We’d love to know who these gentlemen are and when this 📷 photo was taken. Recognize anyone on this #PhotoIDFriday?

  • Shiloh’s main museum building is undergoing its first major renovation since its construction nearly 35 years ago, which means, unfortunately, that Andrew Kilgore’s Fayetteville Townfolk exhibit will temporarily be unavailable for a short time. We will announce when the exhibit will re-open to the public as we remember the life and work of Andrew Kilgore.

Meanwhile, the public is welcome to visit our other exhibits, Capturing Time: Historic Ozark Cameras and One Step Higher: Five Generations of a Black Ozark Family.
