The Spellman Museum has a separate gallery and meeting space which houses temporary or rotating exhibits in display cases. These cases offer the museum a chance to display additional artifacts outside of the main gallery and explore topics in more depth than the permanent exhibits. This room also hosts special traveling exhibits, often rented or borrowed, that run a range of interesting topics.
Featured Exhibit:
Forney Women
In the July 29, 1962 edition of the Dallas Morning News, an article titled “Doctor, Editor, Banker, Merchant – All Women” discussed how several prominent positions within the small town of Forney were held by women.
Using this as inspiration, our current exhibit pulls artifacts and photos about some of the women mentioned in the article, while also expanding the scope to include more Forney women from past and present.
Other Exhibits:
Lewis Vaughn and Bud Smith (WWII), Adams Drug Case
