The Heritage Happenstance

Yesterday was an eventful day in the Museum. Not only did Hayley and I begin drawings and sketches on a new display pertaining to Custer’s Life Insurance Policy, but we also got the okay from Chris to switch up another display in order to show more about Libbie Custer. If creating our own displays in the museum was not exciting enough, while I was working I had “relatives” of Sitting Bull and Custer walk in right after one another. Usually I get a couple “relatives” a week, but I’ve never had two people come in almost at the same time. While I was checking in Custer, Sitting Bull overheard his announcement, and the two men went walking around the Museum together reminiscing about their supposed ancestors. At the risk of sounding too judgmental, I would believe some of these men if any were willing to show some proof. Even if these “relatives” are not really related to these two infamous men, their stories are always fun to listen to and who knows, I might have even learned a thing or two.
