Artifacts, circa 1880-1930, undated
Scope and Contents
This series contains items collected by Abby Williams Hill. Of particular significance is her paint box, which she traveled with and used while painting outdoors, and the gold medal awarded to her at the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in Seattle, Washington.
Also of note are the Native American artifacts in this series. While it is unknown how these items came to be in Hill's possession, we can assume based on her journals and correspondence that they were either purchased by Hill or gifted to her. When known, the tribes that created the artifacts are identified.
