Current Exhibits
We invite you to visit the Suggett House Museum at CCHS for the exhibit opening of “Suspended in Time: Unraveling the Lives Women Left Behind,” a new exhibit featuring the history of women as evidenced by the work they left behind. There are samplers, textiles, paintings, taxidermy, and recently conserved schoolgirl maps on display, all of which can be utilized to learn more about the women who created these unique and wonderful objects.
You will see the items recently featured in our Museum Mystery Challenge, and you can check our Then & Now Children’s Room. Admission to the Suggett House is always free.
Light refreshments will be served.
Parking is opposite our building on both Homer Avenue and Maple Avenue. The entrance to the building is on the Maple Avenue side.
