“Over the last year, we’ve been able to reimagine our events and how we interact with guests,” said Dr. Richard Banz, Executive Director of the Southern Museum in the news release for the event. “Southern Spirits allows attendees to engage with the museum and its exhibits in a way that is not possible during regular operating hours. We are excited for the opportunity to provide this style of event to our community.”
