Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' plane dedication at Discovery Park of America. This remarkable replica was constructed by over 100 talented students from Obion County Central High School and proudly donated to our museum in 2014. What a legacy!

We have a unique edition of #WildlifeWednesday today. This Tracheyms scripta elegans (or red-eared slider turtle) recently laid her eggs next to our time capsule stone by Liberty Hall. This is the only part of the reproductive process that occurs away from the water.
