Clarke County Historical Association Looks to the Future

12 January 2021

We pre-recorded today’s conversation via Zoom with Nathan Stalvey, Executive Director of Clarke County Historical Association.

Nathan told us about the many educational resources available through the association, their hybrid programs and events, and the introduction of Patreon for those interested in attending/supporting events without a membership. We talked about how his staff rallied during the pandemic to create a new vision for the future that includes a new website, a new name for the museum, and a new slogan. He also gave us details about a few programs starting in February and March.

Lonnie's Fun Fact for Friday April 16, 2021. A different type of animal. I usually try to include an animal in my weekly Fun Facts, but today it's not just one, it's a whole box of animals. This Sunday is National Animal Cracker day. According to National Day Calendar dot com animal crackers first came to the United States in the late 1800s when animal-shaped cookies were imported from England. In 1902, animal crackers officially became known as Barnum’s Animals and the familiar circus train theme of the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Later that year, Nabisco designed the now-familiar box with a string for the Christmas season to hang from the Christmas tree. In 2018, Nabisco, the current maker of Barnum’s Animal Crackers, released the animals from their cages on the train and set them free. The images on the side of the boxes now show the animals roaming freely in nature. In total, 53 different animals have been featured in boxes of animal crackers since 1902. ... See MoreSee Less
