Journey Stories — Museum on Main Street


Tom Bryant

Program Director - Alabama Humanities





"Journey Stories" a Museum on Main Street exhibit is a partnership project of the Smithsonian Institution, state humanities councils, and rural museums across America. Museum on Main Street brings rural Americans one-of-a-kind access to prestigious Smithsonian exhibitions and first-rate educational programs. Most importantly, Museum on Main Street gives rural museums a chance to demonstrate their enormous talents and their meaningful contributions to small town life. Museum on Main Street is funded by the United States Congress. Alabama’s next Museum on Main Street exhibition, “Journey Stories,” will examine the intersection between modes of travel and Americans’ desire to feel free to move. The stories are diverse and focus on immigration, migration, innovation and freedom. “Journey Stories” will use engaging images with audio and artifacts to tell the individual stories that illustrate the critical roles travel and movement have played in building our diverse American society.
