💚🏛️ Daughters Day Out — A Journey Through History! 🏛️💚
Girls, I've got another exciting idea brewing for our Beyond the Veil year, and I think this one could be really special! 😁
How would you ladies like to take a little field trip to the McKinley Presidential Library & Museum in Canton?
But wait... there's more! 🤭
While exploring their website, I discovered something that REALLY caught my attention — the Ramsayer Research Center, which preserves historical photographs, newspapers, documents, and stories from Stark County's past!
Of course, my wheels immediately started turning! What if they have pieces of OUR history tucked away in those collections?!
I've already submitted a research request asking about records relating to Nazir Grotto and the Daughters of Mokanna dating back to the 1920s! I'm also reaching out to their archivist to explore the possibility of arranging a special visit for us.
Imagine what we could discover and learn together!
📜 Our Own History: We might uncover old newspaper articles, photographs, or stories about Nazir and the Daughters that we've never seen before!
🔎 Behind the Scenes of History: Learn how historians and archivists research the past, identify old photographs, uncover forgotten stories, and piece together historical events.
📚 Preserving Our Legacy: Discover how to properly care for our old photographs, programs, documents, and memorabilia so future generations of Daughters can enjoy them.
🏛️ Exploring Stark County's Past: See how people lived, worked, celebrated, and built their communities during the same decades our organization was growing.
💚 Making Memories of Our Own: Enjoy a fun day together exploring the museum, sharing a few laughs, and perhaps grabbing lunch or dinner afterward!
And here's what excites me most...
We wouldn't just be learning about history. We'd be learning how to preserve OUR place in it!
Think how wonderful it would be if something we discover becomes part of our new Nazir Living Archive!
Nothing is scheduled yet, and we'll choose a day that works best for everyone. I'm just exploring the possibilities and hoping we can arrange something extra special for our girls.
So tell me, ladies...
Who's up for a little historical adventure with me?! 🥰💚
Beyond the Veil: Honoring Our Past. Strengthening Our Future.
