The Hero’s Journey

This incredible exhibit chronicles the journey of archaeologist and NY Times best-selling author Dr. David West Reynolds, a New Albany native who forged an unprecedented career, from excavating ancient ruins to working with Lucasfilm on Star Wars.
This moving exhibition draws the national phenomenon of the Underground Railroad into sharp focus by revealing the contributions of ordinary people, both free and enslaved, whose courageous acts on both sides of the Ohio River helped overthrow the institution of slavery.
