The museum's Lenape Collection contains pieces that date back to the Paleo-Indians of more than 10,000 years ago. This new permanent installation in the museum's auditorium details the story of life for the Lenape Indians. The Lenape's existence among the bleak tundra-like landscape was difficult, but gradually evolved over thousands of years with the development of agriculture, permanent settlements and a more temperate climate. Visitors will see an array of artifacts and mounted specimens related to Lenape food, clothing and other aspects of survival.
