Image of the Week

We are continuing our pet-themed week in celebration of our new exhibit, “Pet Portraits, Then and Now!” This photograph is one of the many featured in the exhibit, and highlights the important role pets played in providing comfort to TB patients. This photograph was taken by Charles Swasey “Beanie” Barnet, and shows Mrs. Huron Rock with an unidentified child and a whole family of cats and a dog. Come check out the new exhibit anytime the museum is open, Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and see other historic pet photographs from our collection.
