Two other previous exhibits will continue, the poster exhibit, “City of Hope: Resurrection City and the 1968 Poor People’s Campaign” from the Smithsonian, as well as photos of the liberation of the Ahlem concentration camp during World War Two taken by Vernon Tott of Sioux City, a local soldier who helped rescue and later reunite several Jewish survivors from the holocaust.
Hansen says the museum will resume its normal operating hours, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and Sundays 1 to 5 p.m.
The Sergeant Floyd River Museum & Welcome Center will remain closed to the public and the Bill Diamond Classic Car Show set for July 12th on the Welcome Center grounds has been canceled.
