Abilene Christian University’s Department of History and Global Studies hosted an ACU Museum preview event on Thursday. The museum will officially reopen in the fall as a laboratory and teaching museum. It was previously managed by the Women for ACU and will now be cared for by the Department of History and Global Studies, the ACU Brown Library and the ACU Alumni Office.
