Ham Community Room

The community is welcome to a reception of the art, history and science of Brownlow Thompson. The display will be the inaugural exhibit of our new "History Hall" which will feature a variety of displays throughout the year.  This first exhibit will include five paintings by Thompson donated to the Conway Historical Society by the Thompson family and memorabila from the Conway Public Library's Henney History Room.

From battle scenes to formal portraits, artists play a major role in defining the early history of the republic. Artists like Copley and Stuart played a major role inshaping popular erspectives on leaders and the nature of leadership in a democracy.
