New Exhibit: Picturing Newburgh’s Past

The Newburgh Museum’s newest exhibit, Picturing Newburgh’s Past, will be opening on July 17. This exhibit will feature portraits of some of our early residents along with their homes and businesses.  Also on display will be a large collection of vintage cameras, tintypes, and photographic accessories. This window in time will give you a glimpse of Newburgh at the turn of the last century.

MARSHA YOCKEY

The main exhibit at the museum is changed every few months. The current featured exhibit is about Marcia Yockey, a former Newburgh resident started her career at the National Weather Service shortly before the end of World War II and later became a fixture in the tr-state. This exhibit is a a must-see for weather buffs or for all of us who watched Marcia dispense her brand of weather reporting.

The Newburgh Museum is located on State Street in Preservation Hall. Hours of operation are Friday and Saturday 11-3:00. Groups are always welcome and to an appointment call 812-853-5045.
