I wanted to welcome you and say, listen, what we want to do today is give you an opportunity to see basically the museum as a work in progress. There are about 40 of all the exhibitions are now complete, and were working to make sure that we will be very ready on september 24th. The reality of this is pretty simple, 11 years ago we began with a staff of two. We had no idea where the building would be, no sense at all of any of the collections, unlike almost any other museum, not a single object in the collection. We really knew we had to raise a lot of money, we had no money in the bank, and now as a result of some of the gift of staff youre going to meet and a result of thousands of people, we have raised enough money to complete the building. In fact, by september well be over our target number. We have collected over nearly 40,000 artifacts, of which 4,000 will be in this museum, and instead of two people, there are 200 people who are working to build this museum. And let me ask my

[laughter] so, it means that if you are asking about counties not on that route, take a good guess. Within those counties, most of them are in amherst county, that is where the 150 cemeteries are that i visited and studied for this research. On the map in the lower righthand corner, dont worry there will not be a quiz but the numbers you are looking at seem to be the founding of these counties by european americans. I would also point out that if your interests are in native american Burial Grounds, those of course date back tens
