I had Bob Ashley on today and what an interesting guy he is. I really enjoyed this podcast because it speaks to something that I've always enjoyed, which is  herpetology. As a child I was fascinated with reptiles and I'm still fascinated with them. Anybody who knows me has probably seen me move rattlesnakes off the road because I don't want them to get hurt. If you like herpetology, you're going to love this podcast  (plus it's the year of the snake). If you don't like herpetology and snakes, then you may not find it as interesting as I did.Bob has the Chiricahua Desert Museum, which is right on the border of New Mexico and Arizona off the I-10. It's not that far from Tucson and it's not only a museum of desert animals, but a museum that preserves and displays Apache material called the Apache Museum and Geronimo Events Center.He really is one of the top people in this field and a ton of different research gets done as a result of his commitment to herpetology, but he loves Native American art, specifically Apache because he lives and operates his museum in that region. He's very close to the point where Geronimo surrendered to the U.S. government. The museum has lots of different things that you can see and the whole history of that region from an indigenous standpoint, from Mimbres on up.Unique podcast, unique individual. I hope you do listen to it and I hope you go and visit it, which is at the Chiricahua Desert Museum, because it's a very interesting place to go. That's what this podcast is all about and that's what Bob Ashley is all about. He and I have, a similar love for snakes, herpetology, and Native American art. 

The Hands-on-House in Lancaster offers a world of imagination and exploration for children of all ages. This year is the 25th anniversary. The mission of the museum is to learn through play according to Megan Stoltzfus, Lead Educator and Camp Director at the museum. “All of our exhibits are hands on. We have classes and with our classes, all of its hands on education. And we also have a special educational room called the Play Lab, where we have lots of hands-on activities, play based and some sensory things as well, “said Stolzfus. For children, play based education is extremely important for children as they learn through discovering things for themselves. The museum also offers STEM courses for children to help them succeed in the future. “The best way to develop skills is through that hands on that play based learning play, because learning is also important, because it helps kids to basically pretend to be what they're going to be as adults as well. So, it gives them a really good preparation for their future ahead, “said Stolzfus. There are many exhibits that offer educational opportunities. A fan favorite at the museum is the heating and HVAC exhibit. Patti Van Brederode, Art and Museum Director, the construction site exhibit is also popular among the visitors. “It has to do with how air flows and the kids get to put in these giant tubes that we have on the wall with an H back system in them. They can put there clear these tubes and they can put colorful handkerchiefs in there and see which way they go. And they can change the direction and flow of the air and change the way the handkerchiefs fly around. And that is, I think, one of the most fun things, “said Brederode. Patti also teaches art classes at the museum. “So, my kiddos come in, I teach one week is one lesson, so and I teach on Tuesdays and Wednesdays twice each day and I get to do the fun stuff with kids. We get to make a mess, and their caregivers don't have to worry about cleaning it up too much. We only tidy in class and so I'm there for both the kids and the caregiver so the caregivers get a minute to relax and play with their kiddos that they bring along. We do things that you wouldn't necessarily do at home, but I also send and give information so that each family can also expand upon that play at home because, you know, play is actually children's work. And so we what I get to do is I get to show kids what they are capable of, “said Brederode.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 627! We are happy to welcome back to the show David Seyffer, IWC's Museum Director, as the brand is introducing a blue dial variant... The post Scottish Watches Podcast #627 : GPHG Wins, Gerald Genta and The Brand New IWC Ingenieur appeared first on Scottish Watches.

When the United States declared war in April 1917, the 48 states that made up the nation at that time played an important role in mobilization – both in terms of manpower and in terms of the home front. Every state made a contribution that reflected its own unique history, politics, natural resources, level of industrialization, and its national guard, volunteers, and draftees. For Mississippi in 1917, the memory of the American Civil War remained powerful. Against this backdrop, World War I was complicated, both politically and socially. At the same time however, Mississippi made major contributions to the war effort, and the period was ultimately a watershed for the state. To examine Mississippi's experience of World War I, the World War I Podcast hosted Tommy Lofton, Museum Director of the Mississippi Armed Forces Museum. Have a comment about this episode?

Andrew Dalton is the Executive Director of the Adams County Historical Society and Beyond the Battle Museum. As a Gettysburg native, Dalton has always been drawn to history. “We have a lot of people who are connected to Gettysburg through family history, whether their ancestors lived here or there are millions of Americans undoubtedly, who had an ancestor that fought at the Battle of Gettysburg. And so, connecting those people to Gettysburg is something that I really enjoy because, you know, I found my own connection early on.” Andrew's passion for history began as he grew up at what was once the Gettysburg Country Club. With a curious spirit, he soon learned about the story of what happened on that property before, during, and after the Battle of Gettysburg. “A 16 year old girl lived there and wrote an incredibly vivid account of her experiences during the battle. Her name was Amelia Harmon. And because this happened literally just a few hundred yards from where my modern-day house sat, I was just captivated by her, what happened to her? And that Confederate army burned her home during the battle she survived was basically sent out in the midst of all of it on the first day of the battle with her aunt to flee the scene as their house was left behind in flames. And so, she wrote this incredible account when she was an older woman in the early 1900s. And I really thought it hadn't seen enough tension. And so that's actually what drew me into the Adams County Historical Society at first, because these human-interest stories of civilians are often not given the attention that I think they deserve in the larger mixture of what people see and hear about when they come to Leesburg. So, I was just fascinated by her story turned into a book. But more importantly, it led me into this organization where, you know, I was able to, you know, uncover and learn many other stories of, you know, incredible heroism during and after the Battle of Gettysburg by our local community members. So just to put that into perspective, we have like 2000 people living in the town of Gettysburg at the time of the battle a little over 2000. And, you know, massive armies, hundreds of thousands of soldiers show up on their doorsteps, 50,000 plus casualties in three days. For a small town, it was just an unbelievable event that stayed with them for the rest of their lives. And so many of them wrote about it. We have hundreds of letters and diaries, and newspaper accounts left by these people. And that's really what got me hooked on learning more about Gettysburg and sharing those stories. The Beyond the Battle Museum was named best new museum in the United States in 2023. The museum has 12 exhibits including a “Caught in the Crossfire” immersive experience. Dalton credits the community for their support of the museum. “We rely on members and donors to do all that we do. And I really think history is just such an important and sometimes undervalued part of the community. You know, the identity of every community is. Tied to its history. And we're so fortunate in Gettysburg that we have not just local history, but national and even internationally significant history. And so we appreciate the support that comes to us. You can visit our website at npr.org. Or I think we just added Gettysburg history.org, if you want an easier link. But we are just so honored that people who have helped us make this dream come true for a new home, a new museum, a new space for us to preserve our collection. And, you know, we're preserving people's lives, you know, people, our ancestors, even, you know, parents and grandparents. If you think about it more closely, when they pass on, you know, people really treasure what's left. You know, a scrapbook or, you know, a personal item or a letter or a diary. And people cherish and hold on to these things and oftentimes pass them down for generations. And so, you know, we've become a permanent home once, you know, families have decided that they want something, you know, that might be even more lasting and guaranteed in terms of protecting that item. And so, we take about 100 donations every year. You know, it could range from an artifact to a grouping of letters or, you know, of a piece of furniture if there's a story attached to it, you know, that's important to someone in their life, in their legacy. You know, we want to make sure that that's protected. So we that's what we do with the support that we receive from the public. We invest that in keeping these stories and these people's legacies alive. And, you know, we're just grateful for the support we've received and hope that we'll continue to earn people's respect and trust and support in the future.”    Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

FROM THE “FIRST VOICES RADIO” ARCHIVE. Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse talked with Rick Hill Sr., a citizen of the Beaver Clan of the Tuscarora Nation of the Haudenosaunee at Grand River. Rick holds a Master's Degree in American Studies from the State University of New York at Buffalo. He is the former Assistant Director for Public Programs, National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution; Museum Director, Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe, NM; and Assistant Professor, Native American Studies, SUNY Buffalo. He formerly served as Senior Project Coordinator of the Deyohahá:ge: Indigenous Knowledge Centre at Six Nations Polytechnic Institute, Ohsweken, Ontario. Rick is an interpretive specialist to develop exhibitions for the recently renovated Mohawk Institute, the oldest Indian residential school in Canada. He is the Indigenous Innovation Specialist at Mohawk College in Hamilton and serves as a Cultural Advisor to FNTI in the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. Tiokasin and Rick talk about the changes the U.S. Constitution and its state at the time and the original intention and lived experience of the Haudenosaunee Confederation. Their conversation, although it took place a number of years ago is still extremely relevant to today. “Right now, this country is in a state of change and what I believe were sacred to the leaders, the founding [colonial] fathers were these ideals and the laws that they did to come up with a partnership with the Native nations, is being ignored by this current generation of Americans. I think that we have to look back at that these were seriously sacred promises, legal promises made, and if you abuse the First People of the land, how do you really expect your great-grandchildren to grow up and be able to celebrate democracy that you herald? It's really about justice. I always say the Indians are the miners canary of American justice. How America treats the Native people, it's going to symbolic of what is forthcoming as to how they're going to treat the rest of the people.” — Rick Hill Production Credits: Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive Producer Liz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), Producer Karen Martinez (Mayan), Studio Engineer, Radio Kingston Kevin Richardson, Podcast Editor Music Selections: 1.

In Episode 10 of Ninety-Pound Rucksack, host Christian Beckwith explores how John McCown and his fellow citizen-soldiers overcame traditional military doctrine to prepare for mountain warfare—and in the process, reshaped the Old Army into one of the mightiest forces the world had ever known. Show Notes and Resources: www.christianbeckwith.com The episode includes interviews with Ninety-Pound Rucksack Advisory Board Members: Lance R. Blyth: Command Historian of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM); Adjunct Professor of History at the United States Air Force Academy. David Little: “living historian” for the Tenth Mountain Division Foundation. Sepp Scanlin: military historian and museum professional; served as the 10th Mountain Division and Fort Drum Museum's Museum Director. Key Points: The draft and the enlistment of citizen soldiers changed the US Army from a rigid, authoritarian, all-volunteer institution into one of the mightiest forces the world had ever known. The development of Officer Candidate School (OCS) created an industrial-style assembly line that produced junior leaders to lead the citizen army into combat. The innovative Junior Officers' Plan, which was developed to train officers for the mountain troops and then return them to the unit, preserved institutional knowledge critical to the mountain troops' ability to fight in cold weather and mountainous terrain. A specialized division designed to fight in extreme conditions had to adapt the Army's standard flatland, warm-weather military strategies to mountain warfare. Featured Segments: A vivid recreation of a conversation between John McCown and his peers at Ft. Benning, Georgia, highlighting: their takeaways from Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union and the impact of winter on his army's defeat their frustrations with traditional Army tactics and its inability to recognize the importance of specialized training their resolve to embody the change they knew the mountain troops would need in order to fulfill its mandate An overview of the Army's transformation from an all-volunteer force into one led by citizen-soldiers like John McCown. Detailed analyses of Officer Candidate School, the Junior Officers Plan and the need for a purpose-built encampment for the mountain troops.

I had Mary Platt on today. It was a really fun talk because we were at the Hilbert Museum of California Art at Chapman University in Orange, CA and she did a walk and talk of the Disney material, and that's her expertise. In fact, she's done a book on that specific area. So this is a great podcast to watch on YouTube because you can see the paintings and what we're talking about.We  just had a wonderful conversation in the museum, talking about the main animation related exhibit they have at the moment which is on Disney artist and animation pioneer: Mary Blair.So very interesting, enlightening talk with Mary Platt, Director of the Hilbert Museum of California Art.

In one of our favorite—and certainly the most sprawling—Shoecast episodes to date, Ben chats with Elizabeth Semmelhack, director and curator of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, Canada. Which I believe is safe to say—thanks to more than 15,000 shoes, boots, and related artifacts covering 4,500 years of human history—is the world's preeminent dedicated shoe archive and museum. We follow Bata's mission of telling the history of humanity through shoes, starting with  how and where shoes even emerged, then covering everything from King Tut's gold sandals, to how high heels were originally designed for THE MOST RUGGED OF MEN, to why sizing is such a mess from a historical perspective, and how the world's most momentous wars have been won and lost because of...boots.

Mackenzie New-Walker is the Executive Director of the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum in Matewan, West Virginia. Having descended from a long line of miners, Mackenzie describes what life was like for the men, women & children in the oppressive coal company towns of the early 1900's: from how they recruiting their immigrant labor force to paying miners in substitute money called scrip; the private company guards aka "gun thugs" known as the Baldwin-Felts agents; to child labor and laundry day. From there we hear of 1921's Battle of Blair Mountain [the largest labor uprising in US history] where the fed up striking miners transformed into the "Redneck Army."  Mackenzie then recounts the story of The Matewan Massacre, an earlier train station skirmish that has left bullets lodged in a brick wall across from the museum. After reflecting on how this all relates to the present & a sense of coal miner pride, we wrap it up with highlights from the museum's collection, including one about "a canary in a coal mine."Check out the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum & help them fundraise to buy the museum building.
