Leave No Trace: John Work Garrett in the American Outdoors

Description

In addition to boyhood summers at Evergreen and college at Princeton, diplomat John Work Garrett's (1872-1942) character was formed by numerous trips to the American West. This exhibition examines these formative experiences through archival photography, diary entries, artifacts, and sculptures, asking visitors to consider the idea of the American West from multiple perspectives and reflect on their own experiences in nature.

The exhibit is on view Sept. 26 through June 8, 2025, and is open during regular museum hours, Tuesday-Sunday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
