GRAND OPENING

The Sioux City Public Museum collects, preserves, and interprets cultural and social history with an emphasis on Sioux City and the region.

To reach wider audiences of students and teach-ers, the Sioux City Public

Museum is developing sev-eral collaborative efforts with area educational groups. In November, the Museum hosted two events for the Sioux City Community School District’s middle and high School STEM (Science, Tech-nology, Engineering, and Math) programs. A demon-stration from middle school and high school students involved in the STEM program was presented to Lt. Gover-nor Kim Reynolds at the Mu-seum. Reynolds noted that the Sioux City school district was one of the first districts in the state to hire STEM coach-es to sponsor after-school robotics clubs. Most recently, the Museum hosted a STEM Scrimmage for local middle and high school students in preparation for their regional competition.

In addition, Museum staff are working with students and teachers representing North High’s Multicultural Club to develop a film for Martin Luther King Jr. Day activities that will be shown to high school students in Sioux City schools. While the film will feature na-tional civil rights and Martin Luther King Jr. stories, it will emphasize civil rights sto-ries from Sioux City, includ-ing local interviews. The film will also include per-spectives on the “I Have a Dream” speech from current students. The 20-minute film will have its premiere at the Sioux City Public Museum on Sunday, January 19 at 2 p.m. Siouxland preschool groups also have opportunities for learning through the new “Dinosaur Dig!” and “The First Americans” programs developed by the Museum’s

education staff. The one-hour programs include hands-on time in the galleries, short education programs in the classrooms and take-home crafts. In addition to provid-ing approximately 100 tours and group activities per year, the Museum’s education staff is pursuing new part-nerships like these with area educational organizations.

Annual Report

New exhibit

D i r e c t o r ’ s R e p o r t

Greetings and welcome to our annual report and year-end newsletter. The annual report has always been my

favorite newsletter of the year as it details our growth, highlights our programming and recognizes our volunteers, donors and staff whose combined efforts have developed the Sioux City Public Museum into a destina-tion cultural attraction.

As the Director, I am blessed with an excel-lent staff that works exceedingly hard to serve the community. This dedication com-bined with an incredible volunteer base al-lows the Museum to provide a wide range of programs, exhibits and activities throughout the year while striving to fulfill our mission and operate as a nationally accredited Museum.

the number one domestic problem the coun-try faces.” That evening, Kennedy stayed at the Sheraton-Martin Hotel. The next morning at a breakfast gathering, he stumped for lo-cal candidates like Donald O’Brien.

Kennedy, on the morning of September 22, traveled by motorcade to the Sioux City stockyards, where he delivered another speech. There he said “…this country can’t be prosperous unless the farmer is prosper-ous. We must try to bring a balance between supply and demand.” After this, someone from the crowd dared Kennedy to ride a mule, and that he did. Riding down the al-leys, Kennedy shook many hands before dismounting.

Terry Prince, working in the stockyards, saw Kennedy speak and was one of the people who filmed the event. Unfortunately, his tape was lost. Later, Prince was able to procure one of the other recordings of the campaign stop. He then donated copies of it to the Sioux City Public Museum in January 2013.

Arriving late on September 21, Kennedy spoke to supporters at the Municipal Audito-rium at 10:15 p.m. where he proclaimed, “I consider the decline of agricultural income

The film donation was announced at a press conference by Terry Prince, left, and Steve Hansen, Museum Director, in November.

Recent Acquisitions

Success can be measured in many ways and as you read through these pages I am sure you will notice that it truly has been another year of growth at all of our sites. Attendance numbers remain high, artifact donations have expanded the quality of our collection, the endowment is growing and we continue to add new programs and exhibits through-out the year.

By any measure it has been another history making year for the entire Museum and once again the standard has been set at a very high level. As we move forward you can ex-pect to see new collaborations and a diverse offering of exhibits and exciting programs that will further enhance our reputation as a great place to bring family and friends for a visit. We hope you visit us again and often.

Fiscal Year 2012 – 2013 • July 1, 2012 – June 30, 2013

The Sioux City Public Museum collects, preserves, and interprets cultural and social history with an emphasis on Sioux City and the region.

ANNUAL REPORT

The Sioux City Public Museum hosted the local premiere of “America’s Darling,” which included images of the native Sioux Cityan from the Museum’s collection.

The Sioux City Public Museum participated in a variety of collaborations to provide fun and educational opportuni-ties to the public.

In FY13, Museum staff and other presenters delivered 90 adult and children’s pro-grams to the public; some were so popular they had to be presented twice! The History at High Noon series continues to draw a great deal of enthusiasm for the

tremendous photographic collection at the Museum. The Research Center initiated a popular series of workshops aimed at helping partici-pants preserve and care for personal artifacts. Walking tours, special lectures and a film premiere rounded out the adult programs.

Not only did the new perma-nent exhibit, “The Big Dig!” attract new visitors, it pro-vided a valuable resource for children’s programs. The opening of the hands-on fossil exhibit was featured in summer camps, Beyond the Bell programs and Dino Days (held over winter break for families). Girl Scouts were the focus of a new event, “Fash-ion Night at the Museum,” to explore fashion history and contemporary design. School groups from pre-K to high school dominated the scenes from March through May. With the help of tour guides, staff and interns almost 100 groups explored the facility. The hands-on exhibits in the permanent gallery, immersive

fossil experience of “The Big Dig!” and enriching program-ming activities continued to engage and entice visitors of all ages at the Museum.

The Research Center staff served 1,212 researchers with 327 in-house researchers and 880 phone/e-mail inquiries. Additional audiences were reached through outreach efforts such as community presentations, which nearly doubled from the previous fiscal year.

Children from a local school boarded the M.V. Sergeant Floyd to learn more about Missouri River history in May 2013 as part of the fourth grade Sioux City history curriculum.

Restoration efforts continued at the Peirce Mansion with the completion of the Bride’s and Groom’s rooms. These former bedrooms were trans-formed into changing rooms for wedding parties. Volun-teers with the Association’s Peirce Mansion Committee, continue to lead the resto-ration efforts and are solely responsible for staffing rentals and coordinating events.

The Peirce Mansion is avail-able for weddings, recep-tions, birthday and gradua-tion parties, and corporate events. Open Houses for the public are held quarterly.

Peirce Mansion

The Sergeant Floyd River Museum & Welcome Center is approaching its 25th anni-versary of operation. On May 15, 1989, the City of Sioux City, in cooperation with the state of Iowa, opened its first welcome center. The dry-docked, former U.S. Army Corps of Engineers riverboat, commissioned the M.V.Ser-geantFloyd, has served Sioux City as an information center, river museum and gift shop ever since.

Visitors from every state and around the world have been introduced to Sioux City, local history, and area prod-ucts through the exhibits, tourist offerings and the sale of merchandise. Currently, four part-time city employees with a combined 45 years of service are employed at

the Sergeant Floyd. A crew of eight volunteers, with 73 years of combined service, assist the regular staff. These individuals have a genuine passion for customer service

The second floor was completed with the renova-tion of the “Groom’s Room” in the summer.

and loyalty to the Sergeant Floyd’s original purposes: introduce visitors to our com-munity and invite them to explore and spend time in the area.

Volunteers from the Peirce Mansion Committee accepted a donation of $2,000 from the Questers - Sacajawea Chapter in June 2013. A “Friends of the Peirce Mansion” drive was launched to assist with on-going restoration and operations of the historic building.

VolunteersThe Sioux City Public Museum and its sites are able to pro-vide a higher level of service to the community thanks to the commitment of an out-standing group of volunteers. Their dedication – whether as greeters, tour guides, spe-cific projects in the Research Center or as board members – is invaluable.

In FY13, 150 volunteers gave a combined 6,720 hours of service at the Museum and Welcome Center; totals are not available for Peirce Man-sion volunteers and board members.

The Sioux City Public Museum received 290 separate dona-tions estimated at 11,534 indi-vidual objects, photographs and manuscript collections in FY13, representing an increase of 36% in total num-ber of artifacts from FY12. The dramatic increase was primarily due to the single, large donation of 7,231 arti-facts from local collector Ron Millage Sr.

Even as the Museum’s capital campaign pledges were still being completed, efforts to build the Museum’s endowment gained momentum. The Gilchrist Foundation provided an outright gift of $25,000 along with a $9,370 challenge grant in FY13. Other non-traditional gifts came from the Smith 40th anniversary party and the Sioux City Museum Artisans Guild (see articles).

When Mac and Connie Smith’s children, Adam, Jay, and his wife, Alissa, offered to throw a 40th wedding anniversary party in August 2012 the couple didn’t insist on “no gifts please”; instead they had very specific gifts in mind: donations to the Sioux City Public Museum’s endowment. Since the Museum was serving as the venue for the event, it also gave many of their guests the opportunity to visit the then-one-year-old facility for the first time. Thanks to the Smiths and their guests, more than $4,000 was raised for the Education/Exhibit fund.

Then and now: Connie and Mac Smith on their wedding day and at their anniversary party watching a slideshow of photographs.

A unique hybrid of volunteers and donors, the Sioux City Museum Artisans Guild represents a new kind of contributor to the Sioux City Public Museum. Rosie Kuehne and Camille Lydon, who also volunteer in other ways for the Museum, have recruited volunteers to use their special talents to create gifts ranging from earrings to wooden toys.

Quilt exhibit highlights Museum’s collectionAmong the variety of quilts showcased in the Museum’s “Homegrown Art: Traditional Quilt Designs” exhibit is a Friendship/Sam-pler Album (left) and a Story Quilt that tells the history of the Hmong people of South-east Asia who were key U.S. allies during the Vietnam War (below).

Two exhibits featuring quilts opened simultane-ously at the Sioux City

Public Museum and Sioux City Art Center on November 23. While the show’s open-ings were timed to coincide with each other, the exhibits show different approaches to quilting as an art form.

The Sioux City Art Center’s ex-hibit, “Quilt Art: International Expressions” is a traveling show of more than 30 con-temporary quilts by the mem-bers of Quilt Art, an interna-tional group of quilt-making artists. Meanwhile, the Sioux City Public Museum’s exhibit “Homegrown Art: Traditional Quilt Designs” features a va-riety of quilt designs from its own collection. Both exhibits will be on display through February 16, 2014.

The Museum’s exhibit show-cases a wide range of styles including familiar patterns

such as Log Cabin, Crazy, Patchwork, Friendship and Patriotic. Some other less familiar variations are North Carolina Lilly, Dresden Plate, Flower Basket, Postage Stamp and Six-Point Star.

Among the two most unique quilts from the Museum’s collection are a Friendship/Sampler Album quilt and a Hmong Story quilt. The Sam-pler Album or autograph quilt

is made up of unique blocks, in this case, handkerchiefs, with the names embroidered on the blocks. This quilt made by Mrs. Zeno (Mollie Hedges) Brown, c1895, features hand-kerchiefs from prominent men in Sioux City and Iowa society. The Hmong Story Quilt chronicles the plight of thousands of refuges who left their homeland and settled in the U.S. following the U.S. withdrawal from Laos in 1975.
