Willa's In the World!

Tuesday, October 24, 2017

We were delighted to open our all-new major exhibition, The New York World of Willa Cather, last night in the Peluso Family Exhibition Gallery. The exhibition is now open to the public anytime the Library is open through the end of August 2018. More about Willa Cather's New York and what you'll see here.
