Please join visionary, David Bogle, on October 25, 2016 (5:30-7:30pm) for a personal tour of his incredible vision made real, the Museum of Native American History in Bentonville, AR.

This is an extraordinary educational and social opportunity offered exclusively to OLLI members and guest. A regional attraction in Northwest Arkansas, this art museum presents dazzling displays of artifacts and art of the original inhabitants of the Americas and serves as a national repository honoring the lives and cultures of the first Americans. Enjoy a refreshing glass of wine and hors d’eouvres as you visit with Mr. Bogle and explore the amazing artifacts within the museum.

This is an OLLI fundraising event. While about three quarters of OLLI’s operating expenses are covered by the annual membership fees and class registrations along with funds from the Osher Foundation endowment, annual giving from OLLI members and stakeholders is essential in covering operational expenses. Our annual giving goal is $15,000 and this is our one fundraising event for the fall semester. PLEASE show your support for OLLI by purchasing your ticket today! Even if you can’t attend ALL proceeds from this event will benefit future programs and support lifelong learning in NWA.

More on David Bogle:
David Bogle has been described as eccentric with a restless energy and a thirst for travel, history, and knowledge of other cultures. He traveled across Africa, witnessed the fall of the Berlin wall at the Brandenberg Gate; and floated down the Mekong River by dragon boat. None of this has excited David, whose ancestors are Cherokee, more than Native American history. He found his first arrowhead at a young age and he now has a world-class collection of artifacts, some being the more famous artifacts in existence. David has made it his mission to educate others about the evolution and role of American Indians and therefore opened the Museum of Native American History on September 9, 2008.
