Visitors to the exhibition will be immersed in the plume-hunting chapter of Palm Beach County’s history and gain a thorough understanding of the scale of the industry and the impact it had on the county. Plume hunting was an activity almost anyone who owned a gun could do. The beautiful down plumage of a Snowy Egret hen nursing her chicks was highly prized and brought the same price-perounce as gold. For approximately 50 years, the birds were pursued to near extinction − a phenomenon that inspired some of the earliest and most critical legislation in the area of environmental protection. The exhibition will be on view from November 20 through June 30, 2011, at the museum, which is open Tuesday through Saturday.
