The Glencoe Mansion, Museum & Gallery presents the "Kindly Mirrors" Exhibit with Floyd History Talk and Pickles & Cake Reception on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.
Tour the newest exhibit at Glencoe Gallery, featuring the photographs of Floyd natives “Dick” and Gertrue Shank taken between 1912 and 1917. Using a Brownie camera, the Shanks preserved their landscapes, joys, and intimate moments of their lives that appear almost contemporary.
The "Floyd History Talk" features speakers Ricky Cox, Alice Slusher and Catherine Pauley who will explore the history and artistic merits of this amazing collection of photographs that were nearly lost to time. Ricky Cox is a retired instructor from Radford University’s Departments of English and Appalachian Studies. Alice Slusher and Catherine Pauley are the president and vice- president respectively of the Old Church Gallery, which created the exhibit.
The talk will be approximately an hour including time for questions.
"Pickles & Cake Reception" honors the Appalachian tradition of serving sweet pickles and cake runs deep in this region and pays homage to one of the images in the collection showing a gathering in Floyd where a spread of pickles and cake can be seen.
The talk and reception are open to the public, suitable for all ages, and there is no admission charge.
Come explore this amazing piece of art and history!
Glencoe Mansion, Museum & Gallery is located at 600 Unruh Drive in Radford, VA.
