Ribbon cutting for Reimaging America: The Maps of Lewis and Clark exhibit

Sunday afternoon the Historical Society, Friends of the Library, the Lewis County Chamber of Commerce and many from the community gathered for the grand opening and ribbon cutting for the "Reimagining America: The Maps of Lewis & Clark" exhibit. Out of several counties vying for the exhibit, Lewis County was selected due in large part to the county being the home of the Meriwether Lewis Monument on the Natchez Trace. Lewis County Mayor Jonah Keltner remarked on the achievement of having the exhibit in the county and noted the hard work of everyone coming together to make this possible for the community and history travelers. State Senator Joey Hensley was also in attendance and spoke about the significance of Captain Meriwether Lewis and the impact he had on American Westward expansion and honoring his life and legacy right here in Lewis County. Lewis County Librarian and Archivist Crystal Nash performed the honor of cutting the ribbon, officially opening the exhibit. The maps of Lewis and Clark will be on display in the Hohenwald Depot Musem through May 6, 2023.
