Seeds of Change Exhibition
Monuments Event
10 am - 5 pm
At Bosque Redondo Memorial at Fort Sumner. On the morning of October 2, 1492, when Christopher Columbus and his men waded ashore on a tiny coral island, two worlds collided. What followed was 500 years of interaction and exchange. Five key "seeds" -- corn, potatoes, diseases, horses and sugar -- form the core of this excellent exhibit. Each seed had a profound impact on the way people live today. Together the seeds reshaped the very nature of life for humans, plants, and animals around the planet.
