Join us for our March Break Drop-in Days in the Gallery!
Step inside the Trillium Community Gallery to discover this year’s Winter exhibit: Naakonigewnan ezhi-zhitoong: Wampum and Treaties of London & Middlesex County.
Explore history of wampum and the treaties of London and Middlesex County. Artwork and research by students from Antler River Elementary School at the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation illustrate how wampum has been used to record agreements and relationships throughout history.
Engage with hands-on activities, including wampum making, drumming, art activities, and more! A full schedule of daily activities will be announced in early March.
While you are here make sure to go for a walk of the Village grounds (heritage buildings are closed).
