"Many Paths to Healdsburg," is a new long-term exhibition that serves as a comprehensive introduction to the Healdsburg area. Co-curated by Holly Hoods and Experiential Designer Noah Jeppson, “Many Paths” offers a deep dive into the rich tapestry of Northern Sonoma County's history and cultural geography from the past to the present through stories, photographs, artwork and objects. Visitors can explore the evolution of the region through thematic displays focusing on agriculture, commerce, architecture, transportation, and recreation. Special emphasis is placed on the dynamic natural landscapes, from the Russian River to the Geysers. The exhibition is designed for high visitor engagement with features like listening stations for recorded stories and videos and interactive artifact displays. By adding layers of sound and video imagery, multimedia artist Hugh Livingston helped create an immersive, living exhibition, designed to change and evolve. Information is presented in both English and Spanish, enhancing the experience for a diverse audience.
