The Rogers Historical Museum presents "Creation Station: Thaumatropes" on Sept. 10.

In the mid-1800s, while America was embroiled in a Civil War, the thaumatrope arose as a premier wonderment to amuse and delight people everywhere. This Victorian era toy, made from a disk with a picture on each side and attached to two pieces of string, captivated children and adults alike with its simple design and spinning optical illusions.

Want to know more? Join in from 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 10 at the Creation Station where educators of the Rogers Historical Museum will teach children of all ages how to re-create this fascinating "wonder turner" and show what entertainment was like in a world before video games, cell phones and electronics. Make your own thaumatrope to take home, then visit the exhibit "Civil War in Benton County: Untold Stories" to learn about life during the Civil War.

Local artists and crafters are invited to submit an application for a two-day festival to be held on the museum grounds on Oct. 14-15 as a fundraiser for the museum. Applications are available at the museum and on the museum website (www.bellavistamuseum.org), or may be requested by calling Festival Coordinator Dustie Meads at 381-8546.

Vendors will need to provide their own tables, tent or canopy and will be permitted to stay overnight in their vehicles on the museum grounds if they wish to do so.

Finding Miss Brady -- 6:30 p.m. Sept. 21, in person and virtual with Dr. Rebecca Howard.

In an era when most Arkansas women pursued a life in the home, Miss Brady created an independent life for herself, becoming a well-traveled, bilingual educator who lived and taught in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Arizona. This presentation is derived from Howard's essay that earned her the 2019 Susie Pryor Award. Howard is a professor of history at Lone Star College in Houston, Texas. Visit the Events page on ShilohMuseum.org to register for a live, online viewing of the presentation. Both live and online presentations are free.
