What’s new at MHSR?
1) We’ve been hard at work after receiving a Historic Preservation grant from Rochester Area Community Foundation last year. The grant will enable us to digitize hundreds of VHS interviews with local area veterans and ensure they are preserved forever. Stay tuned for a full announcement on the exhibit + database!
2) We have a new mini-exhibition on Leland H. Pennington, who was a Rochester-born Tuskegee Airman. The exhibit features a replica P-51 B instrument panel. Visit us to learn more about Pennington’s extraordinary life.
3) We recently acquired a Japanese machine-gun camera manufactured by Konishi-Roku Optical Industry Company. The camera, shaped like a machine gun, enabled rapid fire aerial photography!
What’s on the horizon for us? We’re hard at work preparing for the Annual Ohio Civil War Show in May.
In the meantime, come check out some of our new exhibits in person (Thursday-Saturday, 12-4, Anderson Arts Building)!
