As the museum expands to our new location we are planning on having an exhibit on the food history of each of the southern states. The collections/curatorial intern will research and collect artifacts and stories from a particular state to create an exhibit. The intern will be able to choose which state to focus on based on their interest or personal/family connection to that state.
