Erika Nelson, the curator of the World’s Largest Collection of the World’s Smallest Versions of the World’s Largest Things Roadside Attraction and Museum, will give a presentation on American myths at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 18, at the Hays Public Library’s Schmidt Gallery, 1205 Main.

Nelson’s presentation, Jackalopes, Hodags and Other Larger than Life Myths from the American Road, will discuss legendary myths including Johnny Kaw and Sasquatch. Her presentation takes a look at the origins of legends and how those legends reflect on our culture.

Nelson will drive the latest version of the mobile museum she calls the jeep-a-lope and leave it parked outside the library. The jeep has horns and a jackalope attached to the roof, she said.

Items in the mobile museum are displayed through the window.

This event is free and open to the public.
