I'm working on a long term exhibit for the Chippewa Valley Museum that spot
lights different parts of the Chippewa Valley's history over the last 300 y
ears. It is called "Changing Currents: Reinventing the Chippewa Valley" and
it looks at the mixing and remixing of people, cultures, and environments
in our region's history.
I am looking for a couple of objects to help talk about our earlier history
. One is a war club, Ojibwe or Dakota. We will have a case that discusses t
he historic hostilities between these people but my museum does not have a
good object to represent this important story.
I'm also looking for an old la crosse stick and fur trade era items.
I'm hoping to be able to borrow objects for a minimum of three years. My mu
seum is climate controlled and the items will be in cases that have motion
detected lights so there will be limited light exposure.
If your organization has any of the above items, or if you know of a privat
e collection, please contact me off the list - e collection, please contact me off the list - c.ronnander@cvmuseum.com. Al
l loans to the Chippewa Valley Museum are credited in the labels and are in
sured. I'm also happy to answer any question you may have about our facilit
ies and/or plans for the exhibit. You can read more about the exhibit if yo
u go to our website, www.cvmuseum.com.
Thank you for your help.
