FEBRUARY 4-10, 2018 WHAT'S UP! 9 FAQ 'Fifty From Fifty' WHEN — Through Jan. 12, 2019; hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Saturday WHERE — Shiloh Museum of Ozark History in Springdale COST — Free INFO — 750-8165 What Reno chose truly includes something for everyone, she thinks. "One piece that will delight some folks is the big enamel Chevrolet sign from the Mooney-Barker Drug Store in Pettigrew. Car enthusiasts and sign lovers will appreciate it," she says. "There is also a beautiful handmade saddle made for Fred Grigg Sr. by W.E. Lamb of Green Forest (Carroll County) in 1918. The one surprising artifact is an architectural remnant from another era: the White Waiting door from the old Frisco Railroad Depot in Springdale. The depot was torn down in the early 1980s. The door could have been thrown away in the demolition but it was donated to the museum. This is the first time it is being exhibited." The exhibit also includes folklorist Vance Randolph's derringer pistol, a handmade wooden crutch from Newton County and a Princess Feather applique quilt from the Blackburn family at War Eagle. But one piece has special meaning to Reno. It's something that captured her heart all those years ago. "One of the first pieces that got my attention was a little textile piece, a Victorian wall pocket. It was handmade in a horseshoe shape with the tiniest pocket for storing I don't know what. It's more decorative than useful," she says. "Besides that, it was always the textile items that I liked. Just my personal interest. I have since come to enjoy all kinds of things for different reasons – how they are made, what they are made of, iterations over the years. "I will confess that the wall pocket made it into the exhibit. But legitimately so." Titled "Fifty From Fifty," the exhibit will be on display through Jan. 12, 2019.
