Preserving the Past

A new exhibit at The W.H. Stark House, Preserving the Past, celebrates caring for the past by preserving family treasures. The Tower Room of the Stark House is used as the exhibit space, and features a hands-on interactive area. The exhibit is the last stop on the regular tour, giving visitors a special experience in the historic setting. 

This thematic exhibition explores how the Stark House collection came to be, with stories of the W.H. Stark family’s love of collecting and moments from their everyday lives. Rarely seen objects from the collection have been pulled from storage to be displayed in this special exhibit. Preserving the Past encourages visitors to preserve their own past with information and resources about caring for family treasures.
