Museum/WILL Partnership Promotes Local Presentations

    In addition to a robust Lunch & Learn series co-sponsored by the Silver City Museum and WILL each semester, WILL offers many courses on local history. This fall, Julia Robinson presented a class called, “Early Jewish Settlers and Those Who Stayed.”
    After the discovery of silver in the 1870s, miners, and settlers flocked to this area. Some of these early settlers were Ashkenazi Jewish men who established the first saloons and general stores, owned the first banks, and started families.

          Gila Wilderness by Foot

            Hemphill ventured miles into the backcountry with heavy equipment to reach locations accessible only by foot. The resulting photographs captured the essence of untouched wilderness, offering viewers a visceral connection to landscapes that remain largely unchanged since its designation as the world’s first national wilderness area in 1924.
