Voices of the Valley is The Reach’s permanent community museum exhibition where the events that have impacted our community since the time of settler colonization are reflected through the use of artifacts, photographs and primary documents. Significant historical themes are interwoven with personal stories that infuse the exhibition with lived history. A series of icons placed throughout the exhibition identify important interconnected concepts, and remind us that multiple factors have influenced growth and change in our community as we see it today.
Voices of the Valley is truly a collaborative success story. The exhibition was designed through a partnership between The Reach and the MSA Museum Society, and brings together two significant historical collections.
Students, educators and the general public can access and review primary source documents through touchscreen tablets located throughout the exhibition. This technological enhancement is made possible through support from the Lohn Foundation and a host of caring local donors.
