Last Friday the Willard Arts Center held an opening for their Japanese Woodblock Prints exhibit,…read moreand it was fabulous! The curator, Nathan Barnes, gave a great presentation on the artists, this particular medium and Japanese history at the time woodblocking was an industry. They served sushi and drinks and used the premier to promote local artist Steve Neilsen's exhibit, Out of Chaos, upstairs. And because this was the exhibit's opening, the Art Center was open in the evening! Idaho Falls may not be the most cultured city, but events like this prove we have potential! I love supporting the arts, and this is a great opportunity to do just that while experiencing some phenomenal Japanese woodblock prints. While I wish these exhibits could be open in the evenings, I'm sure they don't have the funding to pay for the support staff those hours would require. But maybe if more of us frequent the Willard Arts Center, it will give them reason to look for ways to make that work!

Do you know who invented tubes for the TV? Well, I do. His name was Philo Farnsworth. According to…read morethe information inside this museum, he came up with the idea while farming in Rigby, Idaho. Without his contribution tv would not have come about. The quaint small and informative museum. The volunteers who run the museum are friendly, full of information, and very knowledgeable about this museum and the surrounding areas. It features information about local celebrities. Such as Ardis Fisher who wrote "Mountain Man". The book was turned into the movie "Jeremiah Johnson". Fun facts about Jefferson County. The first TV tube, early pre-electric era, and early electric-era items are also on display. Many Indian artifacts which were unearthed during the early years of Rigby are here to be seen. It also tells about several doctors that made home visits back in the day. I remember those days when doctors came to your home. 14,000 square feet. There are pictures of the surrounding areas and who used to own what before it was purchased and subdivided. Lots of local history and information. Needless to say, this museum is not very big but it really is a must-see. Plus it is on the way to Heise Hot Springs or Swimming Pool, Rexburg, Jackson Hole Wy., Yellowstone National Park, or Grand Teton National Park. Allow at least 1=2 hour for viewing. Keep in mind, it is split up into eras and rooms. Cost is $1.00 for children and $2.00 per adult. Please keep in mind this is the History of Rigby and Jefferson County. Being from the local area and a retired homeschooler I highly recommend this historic museum. Small museums like these are often overlooked but contain way more than you expect or realize.

HOWEVER, it is worth the time if you have the slightest interest. This is a small, volunteer run museum, feature local pioneer and celebrity history. THE celebrity is Philo Farnsworth, born in Idaho and inventor of the Television. HE is actually extremely interesting and the docents at the museum are experts on all of his work. He was a self taught physicist and engineer AND he invented HUNDREDS of things before his untimely death in 1972. Perhaps even more important, for yours truly in particular, he invented the incubator - saving the lives of millions of future babies, (me!)
