Faces in Clay

The Faces in Clay exhibit originally opened in 1995 in the lower level of the 810 Main Street, Honesdale museum. After construction was completed on the John & Helen Villaume Wing it was reinstalled and reopened to the public in the spring of 2008. With the late County Historian Vernon Leslie's 4,600-plus archaeology collection as its basis, this exhibit interprets the Native American history of the upper Delaware Valley. A number of important features of their lifestyle, hunting and gathering techniques and social customs are highlighted. In addition, Vernon Leslie's life's work is interpreted and a 17th century dugout canoe can be viewed to the accompaniment of the soothing sounds of the river and forest.
