Quest for Fire:
History of Firemaking Tools
On Display June 12—August 13
FREE to the public
Through the centuries there has been such an intimate connection of fire with the cultural growth of humanity that you cannot study one without the other. In the distant past man derived fire from natural sources. Later in time we invented processes for making fire artificially which created the need to develop increasingly sophisticated ways to control, use and preserve fire. This exhibit will explore the fascinating and inventive development of firemaking tools through history.
