Opening July 4: Andes’ Cabinet of Curiosities. This enlightening (and entertaining) exhibition, drawn from the Hunting Tavern’s collection, focuses on historical artifacts and oddities. For example, there’s a “swatch from the trousers worn by undersheriff Osman N Steele on August 7, 1845” when he was shot to death during the famed farmers’ rebellion known as the “Anti-Rent War.”
