Did you know Osa was featured in the book Legendary Widows? This book is dedicated to the wonderful lives of the women that have loved and lost and kept making history. This book is next on my list to read! If you’ve read it, I would love to hear your thoughts on it! It’s available in our giftshop!
Our Curator Jacque made the Lei Away Event Itinerary! This is a super neat tropical “get-a-away” in the Midwest! It’s held in Kansas City and celebrates the Polynesian community in the Kansas City area. Jacque will be holding a seminar about the oceanic travelogues of Martin and Osa Johnson. We are so excited to send our exuberant curator up there to talk about the Johnsons!
