Warren’s years of research reveal why Western scholars consider Nate Champion to be one of the unsung heroes of American history. As a young Texan cowhand, he travels to Wyoming to stake his claim as an independent rancher. Nate finds himself thrown into the crucible of the Johnson County War. This program reveals one of America’s most egregious acts of insurrection and how one man unknowingly prevented the crime of the century and became a martyr to the common laborer. Join us to find out about how the government’s free-range policy inspired chaos and lawlessness among ranchers all over the West.

The Booth will be taking a deep dive into Western movie history during 2025. First, we will open an exhibition on Western movie costumes from the Davey collection and later will celebrate the development of the Western movie poster over the past 100+ years. During April’s art for lunch, Booth Director Seth Hopkins will preview both exhibitions by providing a concise history of Western films and the posters used to promote them.
Through March 2
This exhibition features 30 Georgia artists who competed in a 5-day event held in Savannah back in October. Some of the best works created during that event will make up the exhibit. The director of the show and two of the top award-winning artists will be our guests for Art for Lunch and an informal opening for the show on January 8.
