The beauty and history of Newburgh has captivated me since a young age. Being active in my community is important to me as I have been a substitute teacher for WCSC since 2020. With completing my B.A. degree in Archaeology with the University of Evansville, I had the opportunity to intern with the Newburgh Museum. My passion has grown even deeper as I have gained experience through studies, excavations, and volunteering. If I am not working hands on with something, you can find me outdoors enjoying nature and exploration. I have always been a go-getter and I cannot wait to see what my future holds with the Newburgh Museum.Welcome to our new Executive Director, Ivy Clark
