I visit this museum a few times a year and find it amazing that such a jewel of history, education, and culture in our community is tucked away inconspicuously in the Ellis Fine Arts Center, across from the theater. I first entered the museum while I was a new FSCC student in 2013. I was early for English class one day and just decided to stop by and check it out. The relatively small museum is loaded with photos, exhibits, clothing, etc. from Gordon Parks' life, very nicely done for our little town. The curator, Jill, is friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, and happy to answer any questions.nnMy kids' favorite feature is the creative area for children. Stocked with a variety of paper and art supplies, it is perfect for preschool to elementary-aged kids and will keep them busy while adults examine the exhibits and learn about the impressive life and career of Gordon Parks.nnThe museum sponsors a number of special events every year, ranging from movie nights to photo contests to spoken poetry nights. It is part of what makes our community so supportive of the Arts.nnHighly recommended!
