            Seven centers with live models replacing mannequins will be showcased throughout the museum. One special guest depiction will be the former Governor and Judge Robert L. Williams. Bobby Dobbins will tell about the journey his ancestors made to Bryan County.             Families are encouraged to attend, and children are welcome in this casual atmosphere. Attendees will sit on the floor to enjoy the live exhibits. Those in need of chairs may ask as they enter.
