Rare Jefferson Peace Medal Exhibit at Mead Museum
An original 220-year old Jefferson Peace Medal on loan to the Mead Museum is on display as part of the Journeying Forward: Connecting Cultures exhibit. The 4-inch Jefferson Peace Medal is extremely rare and a historically significant artifact from the early 19th century. The peace medals were commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson as part of diplomatic efforts with Native American tribes, serving as symbols of goodwill and alliance between the U.S. government and Indigenous leaders. The Lewis & Clark Expedition handed out 89 of them to leaders of Native Nations on their journey between 1804-1806. This medal is one of less than 5 on display in the world!In addition to the peace medal, the Journeying Forward exhibit also had an upgrade in its history of the Ihanktonwan and Oceti Sakowin Nations, an important narrative to Yankton regional history.The Mead Museum is located at 82 Mickelson Dr in Yankton SD. The Museum is open weekdays 10AM to 5PM and on Saturdays/Sundays from 1PM to 5PM.
The National Music Museum presents organist Marie Rubis Bauer, Archdiocesan Director of Music and Cathedral Organist at Saint Cecilia Cathedral in Omaha, in a special performance on the Museum’s rare 1808 Dieffenbach organ (NMM 04905). Built in Bethel, Pennsylvania, and originally installed in Zion Lutheran & Reformed Church in Orwigsburg, this towering Pennsylvania-German tracker organ stands nearly 12 feet tall, features 306 pipes, and is one of only seven Dieffenbach organs still in existence—the only one preserved in a major public collection. The concert will take place in the Richard Cutler Gallery, where the instrument is featured as part of the NMM’s Music & Spirituality exhibition. Audiences are invited to experience the remarkable sound of this historic organ in the hands of a distinguished performer whose career has spanned major concert venues in the U.S. and Europe, with performances hailed for their artistry and depth of interpretation.
