I visited Mitchell Museum of the American Indian located at 3001 Central Street, Evanston, Illinois. Glancing through the outside of the museum, my impression was this is a pretty small building. I had a single story about the building; I thought I might have chosen the wrong museum to go to since it is small in size.

I maintained this plan, arriving at Boston University as an archaeology major but after several semesters of study realized that it wasn’t the exact path for me.
