For readers who haven't had a chance to experience it yet, tonight's an excellent evening hours opportunity to check out The Carnegie Center for Art and History's Ordinary People, Extraordinary Courage: The Men and Women of the Underground Railroad, a permanent exhibit highlighting FLoyd County's involvement in the antislavery movement.
The Floyd County Historical Society is hosting a meeting at the Carnegie featuring the exhibit tonght at 7:00 p.m., with a video presentation and self guided tour.
According to the Carnegie Center's web site, the National Park Service accepted Ordinary People, Extraordinary Courage in the "Network to Freedom Program" and the state of Indiana also recognized the educational and cultural tourism value of this program by naming the Carnegie Center as one of three "gateway" communities interpreting the Underground Railroad in seventeen counties in southeast Indiana.
