The images highlight the diversity of the region, from the people who call it home to the industries that drive the economy to the natural environment we all share. This exhibition features photographic examples from the museum's collection relating to Farmington's Main Street, the orchard industry, Navajo culture, oil and gas, farming, the railroad, and much more. This exhibit has several large-scale photos intended for visitors to take their picture (a selfie) in front of, so they can be a part of history! This exhibit is FREE to the public.
