A Spiritual Museum Experience for the Entire Family
When you visit Indian Steps Museum, you may find yourself feeling the presence of the Almighty Manetto, the God of a people gone forever.
You may sense the spirit of Indian groups celebrating festive occasions—the old telling stories of past greatness; young couples courting demurely not unlike today’s youth. Ancient campfires are now dampened. Indian tepees by the riverfront and braves trudging down the hillsides with trophies of the hunt are gone. All have passed to an afterlife.
The Indian Steps Museum is here to honor that spirit—that people.
An inscription over the mantle in the reception room captures this respected and honored memory:
For the fires grow cold and the dances fall, and the songs of their echoes die, and what have we left but the graves beneath, and above, the waiting sky?
