The Linden Depot is the last surviving junction depot in the State of Indiana. It now has a new CSX caboose and animated circus. The Depot closed its doors in 1973, and re-opened 20 years later. This is the 23rd season for the the museum. The mission of the Linden Depot Museum is to preserve and protect the historic 1908-built deport and its railroad memorabilia.

"We have been able to preserve a lot of railroad artifacts in the museum," said Vice President, Elizabeth Hendrickson. "It's important that people get to see these. We don't want people throwing these away, putting these things in the landfill."

    Lightner Museum Case Study

    The Lightner Museum in St. Augustine contains several exhibits that accurately reflect American culture in its Gilded Age. From stained glass windows to rusted railroad tracks, this brilliant museum offers a window into late 19th to early 20th century American lifestyle. Museums and their artifacts are often used as resources to ethnographic research, which is what our classroom attempted to do at Lightner. After looking into five objects of assorted dates and materials, we were able to make educated inferences, later backed up by additional research, about America’s Gilded Age and the people who collected these objects. The…

    High Museum Project

    I chose to do my review project in “The High Museum”, in Atlanta GA. It was found in 1905 and its very first name was Atlanta Art Association. Also it is the one of the most visited art museum in the world. While, visiting High museum, I was drawn to two particular pieces from two very different artists. The Chest and drawers by Teyo Remy, gained my attention because of creative design and deep meaning. My other favorite piece is “The beginning of Life in the Yellow Jungle”, by Thorton Dial. I will be comparing two artist from Modern and Contemporary Art period.…

    Trench Art

    I did feel that the artifacts, although interesting and important, were very repetitive, not to say that they are not helpful, but I would have liked to see a wider variety of artifacts. The Strengths I noticed in the exhibit were the information included with each piece of item. I felt like this was very useful in understanding, who, what, when, where, why, and what happened to them after the fact of the war. The new piece of information that I acquired, was that at one point in the War, Germany attempted mass genocide on Turkey, I had never heard this piece of information and it makes sense to me now that they had one of the higher death tolls than the other nations involved. I agree with the way the museum is set up for this exhibit. There is plenty of primary sources and information given throughout the exhibit that anyone could learn something new walking through…

    Museum Of Curiosity Project Analysis

    The Museum of Curiosity project requires a symbolic donation of an object that represents an event that is historically important. My donation is a handpainted propaganda sign from the secret, government town of Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The decision to choose this as my donation was simple considering the way that the compound of Oak Ridge has changed both Tennessee and the world. But how does this particular sign represent the secrecy and importance of the goings on in Oak Ridge? This sign was constructed as a reminder to all who saw it that they were being trusted with top secret information, and that silence was vital to its success. Each individual worked, completely unaware that they were a part of the Manhattan Project, a cooperative between…

    the hall of fame in Bronx Community College

    I personally took a tour through the Hall of Fame to see what it consists of. I was amazed by the things I saw because they were historians that I have never heard of. I saw a collection of bronze faces of both genders, female and male. Under their bronze faces you will see their name follow the year they were born, the year they died and a quote. The quotes under their name represented statements they wrote as a message base on their belief. This place looks like a real museum a little different because is at open air. Usually museums are built to keep special work of arts, specimen of scientist or other objects of permanent value. In this case this museum shows over 98 great American sculptures for us to honor for the things they have done for us.…
