People often watched Patrick Daily as he sketched exhibits at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh. He was in high school, taking art classes on the weekend. He and fellow students were often tasked with exploring the museum and drawing what they found.
One Saturday afternoon, he felt a tap on his shoulder. A man was looking over his shoulder, impressed by his sketch.
âHe introduced himself and he was the museum director. And I guess I was in awe of him,â Daily said. âAnd I remember thinking: I want to do that.â
Looking back, Daily thinks that moment set him on a career path leading him to the Hickory Landmarks Society.
