Join us for this unique presentation by Renea Dauntes, assistant researcher and archivist for the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, Texas, focusing on how women saved the west. From hope chests to museums, and everything in between, this presentation focuses on how women were originators, caretakers, and stewards whose efforts helped retain important parts of history. The myriad ways knowledge was transferred from generation to generation were all subject to the guiding hands of dedicated women.
