(KNZA)--A new grand opening date has been set for the Kickapoo Tribal History Museum.

The grand opening had originally been set for August 24 but was postponed  due to a funeral.

The Kickapoo Tribe will now celebrate the grand opening of the museum Friday afternoon, August 30 from 12 noon to 2 on the lower level of the Kickapoo Administration Building at 824 111th Drive.  

According to a news release from the Tribe, the museum is the result of several years of efforts by the Tribal Council, community leaders, and cultural experts to research, collect, and celebrate Kickapoo tribal history.

The release says the Museum will feature exhibits on Kickapoo traditions such as beadwork and clothing design, reservation history including community development efforts through the years and historical documents related to tribal sovereignty.  It will also include an exhibit honoring Kickapoo veterans and maps based on ancestral movements since the early 1600’s when the Kickapoo lived in the Great Lakes Region.

The public is invited to attend the grand opening celebration Friday.
