~ The Rhoades Emmanuel Memorial Exhibit ~

The Rhoades Emmanuel Memorial is a collection of exquisite Asian and European artifacts. Some Asian items date from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the European artifacts from the 18th century. Sam Emmanuel donated the collection when his wife, Winifred Rhoades, passed away. It is in pristine condition and reflects some sixty years of serious collecting on the part of Mr. Emmanuel.
