Honey Springs Battlefield is pleased to announce that a grand opening will take place inside the Honey Springs Visitor Center for a fantastic traveling exhibit entitled “Encountering John Brown,” provided through Overland Exhibits from North Newton, Kansas.
The grand opening will take place at 1 p.m. on Saturday, January 13, and light refreshments will be provided to those that attend. The grand opening event is included with paid admission.
The exhibit, which is partially funded by a grant from the Oklahoma Humanities, will explore the history of the man who helped ignite the American Civil War. The display will also provide important historical connections between John Brown and those who later fought at the Battle of Honey Springs on July 17, 1863. The exhibit will be displayed inside the Honey Springs Visitor Center until March 2.
“Encountering John Brown” was developed, designed, built and toured by Overland Traveling Exhibits. Founding institutions include the Watkins Museum of History in Lawrence, Kansas.
