Touring Arizona in 2013-2014

Museum on Main Street (MoMS)

Museum on Main Street is a one-of-a-kind partnership between the Smithsonian Institution, state humanities councils, and rural museums across America. Smithsonian designers have developed an exhibition format tailored to small, rural museums: exhibits are freestanding, contain original objects, and travel in easy-to-handle wheeled crates.

Rural museums benefit from the name recognition of the Smithsonian Institution as well as the programming expertise of state humanities councils, which facilitate local exhibit development and program planning by providing funding, scholarly consultations, packaged programs, and preparatory workshops, along with materials developed by MoMS. Visit www.museumonmainstreet.org to learn more.

AHC's History with the Museum on Main Street Program

AHC has hosted four Museum on Main Street tours in Arizona prior to Journey Stories:
  • 1996-1997: Produce for Victory, about the WW II home front experience
  • 2003-2005: Yesterday’s Tomorrows, about past visions of America’s future
  • 2007-2008: Between Fences, about land use, boundaries, and place in America
  • 2010-2011: Key Ingredients: America By Food, about America’s food traditions
