Now-Mar 2014: Sacred Spaces: Connecting with the Land

Sacred Spaces: Connecting with the Land

NACOGDOCHES, TX
Stone Fort Museum
www.sfasu.edu/stonefort

What landscapes do people identify as sacred? 
How do people assign meaning to a place? 

From the backyard vegetable garden to a favorite vista, we establish personal connections with our environment, and connections that are a reflection of our group identity. 

This exhibit uses descriptions of Texas from diaries dating to the late 1600s, and contemporary journals of the East Texas landscape to explore the many ways we connect with our environment.
