FRISCO MUSEUM EXPANDING EXHIBITS by: Joyce Bornfriend<br />
Exhibits in the Natural History Center at the Frisco Native<br />
American Museum showcase ways Native Americans<br />
lived in harmony with the natural environment for thousands<br />
of years. Recent renovations have enabled staff to begin<br />
plans for a long-held dream to redesign the pavilion located<br />
on the nature trail as the Natural History Center. The<br />
spacious building overlooks a beautiful pond, and currently<br />
doubles as a space for workshops and meetings. Several<br />
murals will be moved from the museum to the pavilion and<br />
others will be taken out of storage. The space used for the<br />
Natural History Center has been transformed into an exhibit<br />
on the original inhabitants of Hatteras Island and includes a<br />
long house.<br />
Carl Bornfriend, Executive Director for the museum noted<br />
that “every museum has items that they would like to display<br />
if they had more space. That has been the case for our<br />
Natural History Center, and we are delighted at the prospect<br />
of expanding the exhibits on such a crucial area. We live<br />
in a time when there are great climate changes, and each<br />
of us has a responsibility to do our part in keeping a natural<br />
balance.”<br />
Located in a complex eco system, the Pavilion offers the<br />
perfect space for environmental studies. Egrets, Blue Heron<br />
and other shore birds nest in the nearby marsh, and marine<br />
life fills the large pond and curving waterway that leads to the<br />
sound. Paths through the evergreen woods include information<br />
markers and benches are located in small clearings that<br />
make a perfect backdrop for small group discussions.<br />
Work on the new exhibits will begin in <strong>November</strong>, and<br />
volunteers are welcome. The museum, which is located on<br />
Hatteras Island, is open Tuesday through Sunday. For more<br />
information, visit the web site at www.nativeamericanmuseum.org<br />
