With a strong contingent of 65 trained docents and an outpouring of financial support from the community, the Wake Forest Historical Museum will open its doors Friday, April 17, for a six-week display of the Smithsonian Institution’s traveling exhibit, Hometown teams: How Sports Shape America.
The exhibit is free and the museum will be open every day for the rest of April and through May except for Memorial Day. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays, and 2 to 5 p.m. Sundays.
Director Ed Morris would like a few more docents, and there will be another required docent training session after the exhibit opens. It is light work; no heavy lifting.
All parts of the museum will be open so make sure you look through the exhibit hall with its large collection of college sports memorabilia.
