Collection Gallery Tours
In a typical year, the Rogers Historical Museum can only display a small portion of its massive collection of objects. “Our Favorite Things” gave our museum staff an opportunity to exhibit their personal favorites by picking some of the most unique and often overlooked items in our collection. Along with seeing some rare pieces, visitors also got the chance to vote on their own “favorite things”.
