MURPHYS– Museum Exhibit Reception on Cattle in the Sierras at Murphys’ Old-Timers Museum
Murphys Old-Timers Museum 470 Main Street, Murphys, CAMURPHYS--Grazing cattle in the high country is a subject of controversy. Historic traditions and public use of forest resources must be balanced with water quality, meadow impacts, and the ringing of cowbells. A grant from California Humanities allowed historian Judith Marvin and Julia Costello to research this topic and this exhibit –and a forthcoming short film -- are results of their study.
