There's a White Rock Lake Museum?
The city’s Office of Arts and Culture has been asking the White Rock Lake Museum to leave the Bath House Cultural Center. It has sat in a converted storage space in the Bath House since 2004. That year, it was dedicated as a permanent display with support from former Park Board reps and City Council members. Now, after months of meetings, there's a new option on the table for the museum's future home.
The new lease allowed the museum to stay “while an interpretative place for White Rock Lake is developed,” according to a statement from the museum’s board at the time. Discussions about where to put the museum have continued since. To Becky Rader, who was involved in the creation of the museum in the early 2000s, splitting it up was out of the question. “Splitting it up would break up the story,” she said.
Without the museum, Rader said many wouldn’t know the history of the lake, like the fact that it was one of the city’s original water sources. “Not speaking for the board or anyone else, I am excited about this because I know over at the Bath House attitudes have really changed since we first started it,” Rader explained. “It’s just not accepted by some as an appropriate place.”
