SUMMARY:Merry Christmas\, Charlie Brown!
DESCRIPTION:The holidays just wouldn’t be the same without The Peanuts gang. And for millions of people around the world\, it really isn’t Christmas until they have watched A Charlie Brown Christmas. \n\n\nCelebrating the holidays in true Peanuts-style\, the Upcountry History Museum will host the latest traveling exhibition from the Charles M. Schulz Museum\, titled Merry Christmas\, Charlie Brown! The Peanuts-centric exhibit invites visitors to enter the world of Charlie Brown\, as they explore the making of the 1965 holiday classic and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. \nPeanuts had become a phenomenon worldwide by the mid-1960s\, and the Christmas special was commissioned and sponsored by The Coca Cola Company. It was written over a period of several weeks\, and animated on a shoestring budget in only six months. In casting the characters\, the producers went an unconventional route\, hiring child actors. The program’s soundtrack was similarly unorthodox; featuring a jazz score by pianist Vince Guaraldi. Its absence of a laugh track (a staple in US television animation in the 1960s)\, in addition to its tone\, pacing\, music\, and animation led both the producers and network to wrongly predict the project would be a disaster preceding its broadcast. \nContrary to that apprehension\, A Charlie Brown Christmas received high ratings and acclaim from critics\, winning both an Emmy and a Peabody Award. It became an annual broadcast in the United States\, and has been aired annually during the Christmas season since it premiere. Its success paved the way for a series of Peanuts television specials and\nfilms —and the rest is history! \nThe Merry Christmas\, Charlie Brown! exhibition celebrates the holiday season while offering visitors a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this holiday classic. Artwork\, objects\, and a video featuring Charles M. Schulz\, producer Lee Mendelson\, and animator/director Bill Melendez that details the sometimes magical and often madcap making of A Charlie Brown Christmas will be displayed within an immersive Peanuts-themed environment. \nExhibition organized by the Charles M. Schulz Museum\, Santa Rosa\, CA \nSponsored by: Piedmont Natural Gas and QBS – Quality Business Solutions

SUMMARY:Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice
DESCRIPTION:Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice is the first child-centered exhibit in the country dedicated to expanding the understanding of dinosaurs and their habitats. Designed for young explorers\, ages 3-10\, the bilingual (Spanish and English) exhibit features three distinct sections that build on a child’s innate curiosity about dinosaurs: Land of Fire (a warm dinosaur habitat)\, Land of Ice (a cold dinosaur habitat)\, and a Field Research Station (complete with a Big Dig experience). \nThe steamy Land of Fire\, present day Montana\, introduces visitors to the Triceratops\, T-Rex and the dinosaurs who called this environment home. Children can circle the land in insect costumes\, buzz through a volcano with oozing lava\, work through a swampy bog and identify an ecosystem of animals and plants. \nNo coats are needed for a trip across the Land of Ice where visitors meet the dinosaurs who made their homes in the cold climate of Alaska. Activities include: climbing rocky steps\, breezing down an icy slide\, and hopping across stepping stones in an icy river. \nIn the hands-on Field Research Station children and their caregivers don goggles and research vests\, as they uncover dinosaur bones in a dig station and examine fossils to identify dinosaurs. \nThe exhibit builds on the popular fascination with dinosaurs and includes science\, history\, and literacy based activities to challenge all ages. Sculpted\, touchable dinosaurs\, featuring\nthe most recent scientific findings about dinosaur colors\, textures and structural form create opportunities for young explorers to investigate clues that the dinosaurs left behind. \nSponsored by: GE\, BMW Group Plant Spartanburg\, WSPA News Channel 7\, BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina\, Harper Corporation General Contractors\, and the Greater Greenville Association of Realtors.

SUMMARY:Answering the Call... From Recruit to the Front Lines of WWI
DESCRIPTION:World War I. The Great War. The “war to end all wars.” \nIt was a war that began on July 28\, 1914\, and saw major nations of the world mobilize armies into expected alliances. It was also a war that three years later on April 6\, 1917\, brought the United States into its first major international conflict since its own battle for independence. \nDespite being woefully unprepared for war – possessing a standing national army of less than 200\,000 soldiers\, a lack of equipment\, munitions and training facilities\, no process for supplying and transporting an army\, and garnering more support for neutrality as opposed to entering a conflict not of its own making and on foreign soil – the U.S. rallied with extraordinary speed to overcome these initial hurdles as it found itself now drawn into battle. \nAs the first members of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) arrived in Europe in June 1917\, the impact of their presence was both immediate and steadying. The Doughboys proved up to the challenges presented by this new industrialized war\, persevering in unimaginable conditions\, forging through horrors of trench warfare\, and solidifying a greater understanding of America’s role in the world\, as well as the sacrifices required for democracy and peace. \nAnswering the Call…From Recruit to the Front Lines of WWI a special exhibition at the Upcountry History Museum presents an overview of the influence “the Great War” had on the course of history\, as well as some of the notable advancements made to the modern world as a result. \nFocusing on the experience from a recruit’s perspective\, this artifact-rich exhibit will draw visitors into the everyday life of the American Doughboy\, including what he wore\, what he ate\, the equipment he carried\, and the thoughts he shared with those on the home front. Drawn from local collectors and the Museum’s permanent collection\, the exhibit will feature original posters used to rally the public; postcards and photos from local troops stationed at Greenville’s Camp Sevier and Spartanburg’s Camp Wadsworth; arms\, field equipment\, and personal essentials carried by individual soldiers as they embarked on their journey “over there.” \nIn addition\, Answering the Call seeks to raise awareness of the roles and contributions of women and African Americans during the call to serve\, as well as the significance their participation meant to transformative social change in areas of women’s rights\, race relations and the economy as the modern era began.

SUMMARY:Picturing Nam
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the National Archives \nJune 16 – October 21\, 2018 \nPhotographs are a powerful part of our collective memory of the Vietnam War. Many of the iconic photographs were taken by photojournalists working for newspapers\, magazines\, or wire services. But there were also military photographers in Vietnam serving in our armed forces. They took thousands of photographs that covered every aspect of the conflict –photographs that are now a part of our National Archives. \nMilitary photographers were sent everywhere: the jungles and swamps\, forward bases\, hospital ships\, rivers\, and air bases. Un-sanitized and uncensored\, these indelible images give an intimate and ground up view of the war and those who fought it.
