The University of Arkansas
Museum traces its beginnings to an early geology teaching collection, which is documented
to 1873. From a modest beginning, the collections have since grown to include millions of
objects across the fields of archeology, ethnology, history, geology, and zoology.
Join Laurel Lamb, one of the museum’s curators, on a behind-the-scenes tour of the U of A
Collections Facility. Whether you are a museum
lover in general or like rocks, fossils, animals, or
history more specifically, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. We will start off
with a presentation about the Museum’s history
and present-day offerings.
After the presentation, the collections tour will
begin and last approximately one hour, depending on the group’s interests and questions.
Bring your walking shoes and get ready to explore! The group is to meet in the lobby area,
just inside the entrance. Activity Level: 1

In this two-hour presentation, Walter Schmidt, local singer/songwriter
and music teacher, will explore the history of the American Revolution through a unique
lens: the presentation and discussion of several
topical songs published and sung in the colonies and Great Britain between 1763 and 1783.
Listening to them now can provide a unique
insight into that seminal period of American
history.
Based on Oscar Brand’s 1972 collection Songs
of ’76: A Folksinger’s History of the Revolution,
this class will explore the music that captured
the spirit and struggles of the American Revolution. Participants will examine songs from three
distinct stages of the era—beginning with the
initial period of growing tension between the
colonies and Great Britain from 1763 to 1764,
continuing through the war years that began
in 1765, and concluding with the Treaty of
Paris in 1783 and its aftermath. Through these
songs, the class will trace how music reflected
and influenced the evolving emotions, politics,
and hopes of a nation on the brink of independence.
Walter Schmidt, singer/songwriter & music
teacher, will introduce two or three songs from
each period by providing a brief historical background and then singing each song, accompanied by guitar or banjo, and providing an opportunity for brief discussion after each son
