Bridgewater College Special Collections will exhibit “Hobbies at Homecoming,” a showcase of Bridgewater College hobbies past and present, from Oct. 22, 2022, through April 3, 2023. The exhibition will be on display in the Robert R. Newlen ’75 and John C. Bradford Special Collections located on the lower level of the John Kenny Forrer Learning Commons on the College’s campus.

The exhibition is curated by Stephanie S. Gardner, Special Collections Librarian, and Sherie Davis ‘23. The exhibition features archival materials and artifacts reflective of the passions of past Bridgewater College community members.

The exhibition is free and open to the public.
