From 1pm to 5 today, you can visit the Post Memorial Art Reference Library to see artifacts of Joplin’s past. Ranging from a key to the Connor Hotel to an embroidered towel from the Keystone Hotel, plus a number of other items, you have the chance to get a glimpse of Joplin’s past through “fragments of people lives.” The items come from the collection of Mark and Paula Callihan. Additionally, also on display are a number of tornado recovery posters created to benefit Joplin charity in the months that followed last year’s catastrophe. The Post Memorial Art Reference Library is located inside the Joplin Public Library.
