| Carthage ephemera featured in 1992 exhibit celebrating Jasper County's Sesquicentennial |
The Powers Museum's permanent artifact collection numbers over 10,000 items and is growing every year. Since museum display space is limited, exhibits using these artifacts are rotated on a yearly basis (in addition to some seasonal rotations) so only a small percentage of artifacts are ever displayed at any one given time. However, the goal of this section of the web site is to highlight some of those special collection areas that are not currently on display, so check back often to see what we have added!
But remember, just because artifacts are are not on display does not mean they are not available for research or educational study. Like the resources of the archival collection, items in storage can be consulted by prior arrangement. (Contact the museum for the appropriate application.)

Marian Wright to Dr. Everett Powers. Tables have been put up to display
the wedding gifts for the couple, many of which remained in the Powers-Winchester
families and are now part of the founding collection of the Powers Museum.
