Avengers: Endgame â The Exhibition

Avengers: Endgame â The ExhibitionJune 7, 2025 â January 18, 2026 âIn the comic books and the movies, the story is always the most important element.ââ Stan Lee, Writer, Editor, Comic Book Creator Â For over 85 years, creating independent yet deeply connected stories has been the foundation of the Marvel Universe. Conceived from a simple idea of strange tales and journeys in 1939 with the publication of Marvel Comics #1, Marvel began to create a world with visual and cultural impact that has continued to influence readers and viewers today. As the comic book industry gained momentum in the 1930s, Stan Lee, an aspiring writer, joined Timely Comics, the forerunner to Marvel Comics. In 1940, Timely introduced characters such as Captain America, Toro, the Whizzer, and even Miss America, who with the Human Torch, founded the Invaders, dedicated to combating Nazi forces in Europe. Following the war, the group was renamed the All-Winners Squad with the mission to fight crime in the U.S. Over the next two decades, new characters in different genres expanded the growing repertoire of stories which furthered the narratives of heroes and villains. By the 1960s, Marvel had risen in popularity. Lee and artist Jack Kirby created the companyâs first family with The Fantastic Four in 1961, followed in 1962 with Spider-Man, well Daredevil, Nick Fury, Incredible Hulk, and the X-Men. In 1963 Marvel created a team of superheroes including Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor, Hawkeye, Hulk, and Black Panther. NamedÂ The Avengers, their mission was to stand as Earthâs first line of defense against the most powerful threats in the universe. By 2012, movies and television shows were the outlets for Marvel Universe characters, the parent company became Marvel Cinematic Universe.Â The AvengersÂ continued to provide audiences with thrilling storylines based on their mission as seen in 2012, 2015, and 2018 films. Avengers: EndgameÂ debuted in theaters in 2019 and became the highest-grossing film of all time that year. In partnership withÂ The Walt Disney Companyâs Marvel StudiosÂ and private collectors, the Upcountry History Museum will present an exclusive 2000 square foot exhibition featuring an extraordinary display of original costumes, props, and memorabilia showcasing the filmâs messages of teamwork, courage, and perseverance. The first exhibition of its kind in the United States, the project invites visitors of all ages to traverse the Marvel Universe. This once-in-a lifetime experience will explore the fourth installment in theÂ AvengersÂ saga and is the culmination of 22 interconnected Marvel films and the climax of a journey. The exhibitâs design and messaging will emulateÂ Avengers: EndgameâsÂ principles of friendship, teamwork, and setting aside differences to overcome impossible obstacles.

Sue Reich's The Quilter's Night Before Christmas

Sue Reichâs The Quilterâs Night Before ChristmasNovember 1, 2025 â January 11, 2026 Â âA Visit from St. Nicholas,â referred to as âThe Night Before Christmasâ a poem by Clement C. Moore, was first published in 1823. For the past two hundred years, it has been reprinted in everything from almanacs to advertisements itâs been dramatized, satirized, parodied, and set to music. Itâs been published in newspapers, dramatized on stage, retold on film, recited over the radio, performed on television, and posted on the Internet. And most especially itâs been read and reread to ten generations of children around the world. The poemâs depiction of Santa Claus as a jolly and generous figure influenced subsequent representations of the Christmas icon and became an integral part of the American holiday tradition. Its enduring popularity and cultural significance have solidified âA Visit from St. Nicholasâ as a timeless tribute to the spirit of Christmas. This holiday classic has been reimagined in a national traveling exhibit titled, Sue Reichâs The Quilterâs Night Before Christmas. Curated by Sue Reich, an award winning quilter, AQS quilt appraiser, quilt author, historian, and lecturer, the exhibit was created by quilters across the country. Each quilter was assigned a part of the holiday poem to interpret in color, theme, stitch, and story. Reich challenged her quilt-making friends, to pick a stanza from the poem and re-create their âThe Night Before Christmasâ memories. Criteria for creating each quilt included the size, 24 x 30 inches, and each quilt had to include a miniature quilt or quilted image somewhere in the quilt. The result is a âNight Before Christmasâ holiday treasure, featuring 29 quilts, that invite fans of the beloved holiday poem to experience it anew in three dimensions. Sue Reichâs The Quilterâs Night Before Christmas exhibition, will make its first South Carolina appearance at the Upcountry History Museum, November 1, 2025, through January 11, 2026.

Military Working DogsÂ Presented by Albert JohnsonMilitary working dogs have played a vital role in U.S. military history for over a century, serving with courage, loyalty, and unmatched skill. Their official use dates back to World War I, but it was during World War II that they were formally integrated into the armed forces through the âDogs for Defenseâ program. These canine warriors have since served in every major conflict, from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan, performing tasks like detecting explosives, locating wounded soldiers, and guarding military installations. Trained alongside their handlers, these dogs form unbreakable bonds with their human partners, often saving lives on and off the battlefield. Today, military working dogs are recognized not just as tools of war, but as fellow service members, honored for their bravery and dedication. Join Albert Johnson, President of the Military Working Dog Heritage Museum, as he explores the history and dedication of these canine heroes. Albert Johnson is the co-founder and President of the Military Working Dog Heritage Museum in Newport, Tennessee. With immense passion, he champions the recognition and preservation of the incredible history surrounding military working dogs, their dedicated handlers, and the remarkable K9 military community. A proud former member of the United States Marine Corps from 2004 to 2009, Albert completed three deployments, serving in pivotal missions in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, and Baghdad, Iraq. His hands-on experiences as a handler and trainer with Specialized Search Dogs like SSD Rexi and SSD Johnny have fueled his commitment to this important cause. Albert earned a Bachelorâs degree in Business from Maryville College and is pursuing a Masterâs degree in Museum Studies, intending to establish a museum dedicated to preserving Americaâs military K9 history. Under his thoughtful leadership, the museum team not only preserves the rich legacy of military working dogs but also educates and inspires the public about their invaluable contributions.
