Living History Exhibitions
At Historic Yellow Springs, Living History Exhibits bring the rich stories of the site to life through immersive installations and interpretation. Drawing on a collection of over 10,000 objects, from material culture to photographs and documents, our archivist, curators, and researchers craft narratives that connect visitors to the lived experiences of the people who shaped the village. Supported by rigorous archival research, collaborations with academic and community partners, and inspiration from the historic grounds themselves, these exhibits create dynamic encounters with the past that highlight themes of daily life, industry, culture, and community in this unique Pennsylvania landscape.
