From Enterprise Staff
If you are interested in joining others to view the solar eclipse on Monday, you may want to head to the Polk County Memorial Museum.
Museum Curator Betsy Deiterman is hosting an Eclipse Party on the museum lawn from noon to 3 p.m. Monday. The free, come and go event is open to the public and is an opportunity to learn about the upcoming eclipse, the path of totality, legends and myths about eclipses and the differences between solar and lunar eclipses. Instructions and supplies will be provided to make your own DIY pinhole viewer to take home.
“We are not in the path of totality, but it will still be a pretty fun day,” Deiterman said.
In conjunction with the eclipse, Deiterman has erected a new temporary exhibit at the museum called The Great North American Eclipse. The temporary exhibit will be open through April 12. The museum is located at 514 W. Mill St. in Livingston. There is no admission fee.
