It was a great day of learning, sharing, and connecting with fellow museum professionals who are passionate about preserving and promoting rural heritage. These conversations remind us just how powerful collaboration and community can be.

We’ve officially wrapped up our Leadership for Rural Museums workshop in beautiful Canadian, TX! Museum board members and directors from across the region came together to share ideas, spark collaboration, and build connections. From thoughtful discussions to planning sessions, the passion for rural museums was inspiring. A heartfelt thank you to the River Valley Pioneer Museum for hosting us. Also, a sincere thank you to the The Citadelle Art Museum for the inspiring tour. We’re leaving Canadian with fresh ideas, stronger networks, and a renewed commitment to supporting the vital role rural museums play in our communities. (fb)
