2024 Summer Youth Interns
Jolie Davis was a sophomore at Belfry High School. Go Bats! Her interests are history, reading, and writing. During her time at the Carbon County Museum, Jolie showed remarkable work ethic and initiative, going about her tasks in a cheerful and unique manner. Ever interested in learning more, Jolie used her passion for healthcare to create an informative display on medical instruments, books, and “cure-alls” from the past. We look forward to seeing all she accomplishes in the future!
Berns Barker was a freshman at Red Lodge High School. His interests include reading and music. Berns was presented with the opportunity to work with volunteer, John Shoup, a longtime resident of the area, anthropologist in Middle Eastern studies, and bagpipe student of William Flockhart, Father of the Festival of Nations. Bern worked diligently in revamping the Festival of Nations Instrument Exhibit with his volunteer companion, helping to pay tribute to Red Lodge’s most treasured cultural event. We wish him all the best as he embarks on to high school!
