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.

“’Mosaic of Cultures: Aurora’s Nepali Community’ is a unique opportunity to delve into the rich and unique aspects of this community, including their distinct music, art, dance, religion and traditional foods,” said T. Scott Williams, Director of the Aurora History Museum “By showcasing these unique cultural elements, the exhibition aims to raise awareness of the significant and invaluable contributions of the Nepali community to Aurora’s history; this captivating exhibit also highlights the stories of individuals, business owners and their cultural traditions and history, and features cultural objects provided by community members, archival images, interviews and immersive elements to bring the essence of Nepal to life.”
