SUMMARY:Lunchtime Discovery: The Bug House Legacy: Uncovering the History of the Washington Field Museum
DESCRIPTION:  \nWatch the livestream on YouTube Live. \nIn 1923\, four boys from Washington\, North Carolina\, created a small museum.Beginning in a tent\, their “Bug House Laboratory” eventually moved into its own building and became the Washington Field Museum\, at one time the largest amateur museum in the United States. Its collection garnered visits from the Museum of Natural Sciences\, including director H.H. Brimley and taxidermist/forensic ornithologist Roxie Simpson (Laybourne). Many other distinguished scientists and curators took note of their work\, including the National Museum of Natural History and the American Museum of Natural History. Join us to learn more about the renewed interest in its history and how the City of Washington and local organizations work to keep the memory of the “Bug House” alive. \nStephen Farrell\, Curator of Special Collections\, George H. & Laura E. Brown Library\nRay Midgett\, Vice President\, Historic Port of Washington Project \n\nLive Presentation hosted by NC Museum of Natural Sciences’ SECU Daily Planet Curator Chris Smith and the NC Department of Environmental Quality Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs staff. Brought to you by the NC DEQ Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs and the NC Museum of Natural Sciences. \n
