Embroidered Narratives: The Hmong Journey through Story Cloths | La Crosse Area Heritage Center

This special exhibit features 18 Story Cloths from the La Crosse County Historical Society’s artifact collection and loaned from the Hmong Cultural and Community Center. This exhibit commemorates the 50th anniversary of Hmong resettlement in the United States and illustrates the history of the Hmong and Hmong Americans through various narratives, including folktales, traditional events, daily life in the mountain villages of Laos, the Secret War, and resettlement.

The La Crosse County Historical Society is proud to partner with Dr. Vincent Her and student Yia Vue from UW-La Crosse Archaeology and Anthropology Department to share and elevate the important historical stories of our Hmong friends and neighbors.

The exhibit is FREE and open to the public from April 3 – June 29, thanks to a grant from the City of La Crosse – Arts Board.

The Heritage Center museum is open Thursday-Sunday, 12:00 pm – 4:30 pm, last admission at 4:00 pm.
