Southern Museum and Galleries

If one picture is worth a thousand words, then a long-ago McMinnville, TN man spoke volumes. In the early 1900’s, W.S. Lively was one of the best-known photographers in the country. His work can be seen at the George Eastman House in New York, at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington and at a very special museum closer to home. Tennessee Crossroads visited the Southern Museum and Gallery which celebrates the history of Lively’s hometown of McMinnville. Watch this and more episode segments of Nashville Public Television’s Tennessee Crossroads.

If one picture is worth a thousand words, then a long-ago McMinnville man spoke volumes. In the early 1900's, W.S. Lively was one of the best-known photographers in the country. His work can be seen at the George Eastman House in New York, at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington and at a very special museum closer to home. Rob Wilds recently visited the Southern Museum and Gallery which celebrates the history of Lively's hometown of McMinnville.

Rob Wilds has been a part of the Tennessee Crossroads family since 1993. As one of our most frequent producers, and the recipient of several journalism awards throughout his various careers, Rob finds that the best reward for his work is meeting the fascinating people and visiting the interesting places he encounters in his travels. A presence in television, radio and print reporter for more than 20 years, Rob is a teacher, writer, producer and director as well as an actor (with appearances in feature films, television shows and on stage).
