YUCCA VALLEY– Following our Giant Rock Clean Up event on October 6th, please join us at the Hi-Desert Nature Museum for an informal roundtable community dialogue. Project Director Karyl Newman will share some of her research about the fascinating and sometimes bizarre history of Giant Rock. Please bring your own memories, stories, adventures, photographs, videos, etc. to share with the group for possible inclusion in the upcoming “Our Giant Rock: a Community Touchstone in the Mojave” digital exhibit at the museum. This is a free, ADA accessible event and light refreshments will be provided. The event is part of the programming for a California Humanities Grant received last December, Our Giant Rock: a Community Touchstone in the Mojave. Karyl Newman (project director) and Hi-Desert Nature Museum staff will launch the interactive archive exhibit in Fall of 2019.
