Sioux City’s history intersects with several major themes in American history in interesting and often unexpected ways. You can examine those connections in the Sioux City Public Museum’s summer exhibition, Sioux City & the US at 250.
Want a deeper understanding of the exhibition?
Presenter Matt Anderson, Curator, will explain the stories behind the photos and artifacts in the exhibit during History at High Noon: Sioux City and the US at 250 – Part 2, on August 20. Part one of this series was presented on July 16 and told the story of Sioux City beginning as a Native American homeland through events of 1886. Part two will continue the story up to modern time.
This presentation is part of the Sioux City Public Museum’s 250th anniversary programming, celebrating the community’s enduring role in American history. Sioux City & the US at 250 will be on display through October 4.
