The La Crosse County Historical Society is thrilled to share our next special exhibit at the La Crosse Area Heritage Center, “Embroidered Narratives: The Hmong Journey through Story Cloths.”
This exhibit will feature 18 Story Cloths from our artifact collection and loaned from the Hmong Community and Cultural Center. This exhibit commemorates the 50th anniversary of Hmong resettlement in the United States and illustrates the history of the Hmong and Hmong Americans through various narratives, including folktales, traditional events, daily life in the mountain villages of Laos, the Secret War, and resettlement.
LCHS is proud to partner with Dr. Vincent Her and student Yia Vue from UW-La Crosse Archaeology and Anthropology Department to share and elevate the important historical stories of our Hmong friends and neighbors.
The exhibit is free and open to the public from April 3 – June 29, thanks to a grant from the City of La Crosse – Arts Board.
Starting in April, the Heritage Center at 506 Main Street, La Crosse will be open Thursday-Sunday, 12:00 pm – 4:30 pm, last admission at 4:00 pm.
