This exhibit was created over two months in the Fall of 2020. Like most museums and public institutions, we paused our on-site activity during the peak of Covid-19. We created this exhibit for digital visitors to learn more about the history of Christiansburg Institute and see a selection of our primary source material.
This exhibit is hosted on the free version of ArcGIS StoryMaps. Labor was the only cost and it was funded internally.
