THE SANTA FE COLLECTION (NAVAJO RUGS)
Bivins Gallery
October 17, 2008
The Santa Fe collection of contemporary Navajo textiles consists of more than eighty pieces dating from 1971-1996. The anonymous couple who created the collection had two goals in mind: to demonstrate the visual power of each textile and to honor the artists who created these works of great beauty.

LLANO CEMETERY BY TWILIGHT TOUR
October 25
Learn all about this and more as you tour the oldest section of Llano Cemetery and hear stories of past people and places, as told by Curator of History, Dr. Bill Green and friends. Plan to spend an evening at Llano Cemetery with PPHM and history.
From the early head stone of Mrs. Lillian F. Morrow (1864-1888), the cemetery’s first burial, to the fanciful Woodmen of the World tree trunk markers, elaborate “gypsy” graves, or the imposing family mausoleums, history is found at each marker. Whether it is the individual details of each life, or the traditional burial symbols carved into the stones, much can be learned about the history of a community and its individuals by visiting Llano Cemetery.
