Order of the Arrow History Museum
OA history buffs enjoyed a special treat at this conference, the
expanded OA Museum.
The museum’s staff worked long and hard
to acquire the great attractions in the museum, including an exhibit from
the North Star Scouting Museum, a uniform worn by E. Urner Goodman, the
National Chief's and National Vice Chief's bonnets, a huge patch map
where visitors can donate a patch from their lodge and the Terry Grove
Eagle Collection. |

There also are tons of patches and old OA
memorabilia. The OA Museum also includes two new special features: the living
history exhibit and lodge displays.
The Living History exhibit is a new highlight of
the conference. Several members, and past members of the National Committee are
being interviewed by museum staff in order to provide an oral history of the
Founders and the early days of the Order. "I think this is a great thing," Says Dr. Carl Marchetti, National OA Committee member. "We have
always had trouble preserving this type of history."

Arrowmen of all ages enjoyed the Order of the
Arrow History Museum at NOAC.
By continuing to preserve OA history, we crystallize our values for
generations to come. |
