Today, we visited the Roswell Museum. It is a small museum with no high value artwork, but there were two exhibits of local interest that we felt were worth the visit. First was” Robert H Goddard: Dreamer, Tinkerer, Pioneer” which included a reproduction of his workshop, and showcased his work on rockets, as well as actual prototypes of his work.
The second was “west of beyond” which is part of their permanent collection and displays items organized under 5 themes: Family and Community, Spirit, Farming and Ranching, Trade and Exchange, and War and Conquest.
Claudette’s Two Cents.
OK, I’m not a rocket person and had no idea who this person was. I did find it very interesting to learn more about this person and who it impacted rockets today.
My favorite part about this museum was the Native Americans. Their collection is impressive. I could have spend many more hours here just trying to understand their culture.
I’ve included a slide show of my favorite pieces. Again, what’s here doesn’t do the collection justice.
