Between
Fences The Minnesota Humanities Center will - for the fifth year - provide logistical and financial support for communities across Minnesota to participate in the Smithsonian Institution's Museum on Main Street program. Over the past four years, the Humanities Center has partnered with 24 communities - from Waseca to Chisholm, and Pipestone to Roseau - to bring two Smithsonian exhibits Barn Again! Celebrating an American Icon, and Key Ingredients: America by Food to the people of Minnesota. Beginning in the fall of 2009, the Minnesota Humanities Center will partner with six communities in Greater Minnesota to host a new Museum on Main Street exhibit, Between Fences. Between Fences focuses on every region of the United States. Its subjects include the defining of home, farm, and factory; the settling of the United States; and the making of fences. Read more about the exhibit at the Museum on Main Street web site. PROPOSALS
