Dust Bowl Items Needed

The Coronado Quivira Museum is asking for pictures and items related to the Dust Bowl to be loaned to the museum to be displayed with a visiting Dust Bowl Exhibit from the Humanities Texas. Items will be accepted from May 14 through June 7 and will be on a four-week display starting June 11 and ending July 6. Items must be collected by their owner from July 9 through July 12 after the exhibit.

Coronado Quivira Museum Podcast

The Coronado Quivira Museum is announcing a new podcast series! We have uncovered a treasure-trove of research about Rice County's various salt mining operations, and we simply couldn't tell all of the great stories in our Smithsonian Companion exhibit By The Sweat of Their Brows: The Men, Mechanics and Science of Salt. To give some of those stories a chance to be heard, museum staff are working on a podcast series.

The podcast will be available from our website and from I-Tunes Music Store. Check back soon for the first episode!

Coronado Quivira Museum is a Blue Star Museum

Once again, the Coronado Quivira Museum is joining with 1,500 other museums, the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families and the Department of Defense to say "Thank You" to our brave men and women in active military service! From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the Coronado Quivira Museum will offer free admission for active duty military and their immediate family members. Military ID required.
