Tilling the Soil, Cultivating Minds: William Smith's Legacy
July 6, 2024 - Nov. 4, 2024
​
An early pioneer of Aurora, the life and legacy of William Smith shaped our city’s history, and his life is portrayed in a new exhibition. The Aurora History Museum recently acquired a unique desk once owned by William Smith. Generously donated to the museum's collection, it will be the centerpiece of the exhibit, “Tilling the Soil, Cultivating Minds: William Smith's Legacy.” Visitors will explore the life and legacy of one of Aurora’s earliest and most influential citizens and learn about Aurora’s early educational and agricultural history.
