Water/Ways @ Ocean Springs: Legacy of Our Forests and Rivers

October 25, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Free

On October 25, the Ocean Springs Municipal Library will host a free and open to the public program titled “Legacy of Our Forests and Rivers.” The program, which will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution’s traveling exhibit Water/Ways, will feature Else Martin from the Jackson County Historical Society.

Water/Ways is a traveling exhibit offered by the Museum on Main Street division of the Smithsonian Institution. The exhibit explores water’s connection to all aspects of our society, including the endless motion of the water cycle, water’s effect on landscape, settlement and migration, and its impact on culture and spirituality.

Exhibit hours are Monday-Thursday 10am-6pm and Friday-Saturday 10am-4pm. School and group visits are welcome but are encouraged to schedule a visit by contacting the library in advance at 228-875-1193.
