"The understanding of a culture comes from hearing the language, tasting the food, seeing personal interactions, experiencing the traditions, and so much more when it is in context."

MURPHYS– Museum Exhibit Reception on Cattle in the Sierras at Murphys’ Old-Timers Museum

Murphys Old-Timers Museum 470 Main Street, Murphys, CA

MURPHYS--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.
