SUMMARY:Nellie Becker - A Titanic Story and Part of the 1912 Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Titanic sank in the frigid Atlantic Ocean on the night of April 14-15\, 1912.\nThe tragic loss of over 1\,400 lives that night\, the failures of the great unsinkable ocean liner\, the insufficient lifeboats\, all would affect legislation of ship building and sea travel in the months and years to come. \nOver 700 survivors would return home and try to pick up the pieces. Many would suffer from the reverberations of that night for the rest of their lives\, with some experiencing alcoholism\, depression\, post traumatic stress\, even suicide. \nWith such an enormous tragedy playing a central role upon the world’s stage\, what was happening here\, in Bureau County? We’ll take a look at the photographs and stories that the lives of residents here revolved around. Newspaper stories will run the gamut from the ordinary: bids for the building of Matson Public Library were discussed and the architect’s proposal for the Soldiers and Sailors Monument were accepted ahead of its projected summer 1912 build; to the criminal: three masked highwaymen rob the train in Sheffield stealing $800 in cash and a diamond ring; to the scandalous: the front-page coverage of the divorce of the heroic doctor of the Cherry Mine disaster after his wife alleged she was the victim of domestic violence. \nFrom the sad\, to the humorous\, to the fashions and the politics\, we hope the exhibit gives you a better understanding of what life was like here in 1912. We hope you’ll join us in March for the exhibit and all the events we have planned for you! \nMuseum is opened Wednesday through Saturday\, noon to 5 pm. Self guided tours on Saturday at 2 pm and 4 pm. \n

SUMMARY:People & The Pullman Strike Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:On May 11th\, 1894\, nearly 4\,000 Pullman employees walked off the job.\nAnd it began one of the biggest events in American labor history. In honor of the 130th anniversary of the Strike of 1894\, Historic Pullman Foundation introduces a unique look at that important moment from the perspective of the actual people who lived and worked in Pullman. The exhibit explores the human cost of the strike\, and tries to view the struggle from all sides.\nStep back in time and experience the hardships Pullman families endured. Learn how the press and politicians of the day stirred up passions. And how pride got in the way of progress.\nUltimately\, the Pullman Strike galvanized the labor movement. And started the long road to a better world for American workers.

SUMMARY:Dirty Elephant Bingo
DESCRIPTION:Did you receive a gift you don’t want\, can’t use\, can’t return and just really don’t know what to do with?\nBring it to Dirty Elephant Bingo as your admission!! That’s right – there’s no cost to attend except the gift that you don’t want! \nHere’s how it works: As players win\, they and the person on their left and their right select a prize from the table…or steal something selected by a previous winner. Don’t worry\, that person can select another prize from the table. Sadly\, if you’ve been burgled\, you cannot burgle a new prize\, you must select from the table.
