If you haven’t been to the local Huntley Project Museum of Irrigated Agriculture lately, you are missing out. Especially since there have been so many changes and upgrades to the museum. C-Span came and visited the Museum last month and featured the museum and irrigated canal system and the history of it. It was part of the Cities and History tour by C-span.
C-SPAN’s 2013 Cities Tour takes their Book TV and American History TV on the road. On the first and third weekend of each month, we’ll feature the literary life and history of each of these selected cities.
Working with our cable partners, their producing team will take specially outfitted Local Content Vehicles (LCVs) into each city, visiting various literary and historic sites as they interview local historians, authors and civic leaders. We’ll also meet with students, teachers, elected officials, and organizations to talk about C-SPAN’s mission in covering public affairs programming, and what the local connections are to national politics.
The following is a great exposure of the Huntley Project Museum of Irrigated Agriculture history completed by C-span. As the current curator Melissa Koch is leaving the museum and moving on to another stage in her life, the following is one of the last interviews she has completed at the museum before leaving October 31, 2013.
The museum is currently accepting applications for the curator/director position at the museum until October 31, 2013 or until the position is filled. For more info visit the museum’s page or their website at www.huntleyprojectmusem.org.
