Paul R. Stewart Museum
In a combined effort, the Communication Department and the Paul R Stewart Museum have digitized over 30 WU sports teams’ photographs between 1940 and 2024.
As a result of the Orange Week fund raising, the Stewart museum is framing four 1855 graduation diplomas, under UV glass. Three are for females, one of whom achieved a bachelor's degree in science. The diplomas will be exhibited in the Museum along with the students’ biographies.
While inventorying items, a mastodon molar tooth and a portion of a jaw bone were found. These items were found in Greene County during the 1960s. Research reveals that these might be the only mastodon bones found in Pennsylvania. These items will be exhibited in the museum.
Paul R Stewart Museum now has created online exhibits which include items from the Museum's Native American collection and a student created exhibit of each of Waynesburg's presidents and their wives More online exhibits will be added throughout the summer
