Library Exhibit: States in Plates

Although the heyday of the souvenir plate has sadly passed, the artifacts endure. They are time capsules reflecting those things that society held dear. Be it the stunning Bull Shoals Lake and Dam in Arkansas or Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater hewn from the very landscape itself, these humble plates serve as a vital documentation of America’s grand cultural heritage. Explore the States in Plates from Minnesota to Nevada on the first floor of Bird Library.
