Hillsdale College

“Alwin c. Carus coin collection - the carus coin collection consists of a vast array of foreign and domestic currency divided into three smaller displays: an ancient coin collection, an american coinage collection, and a history of money collection that includes early non-metal forms of currency, precious metals, and modern fiat currency. The collection was left to hillsdale college to be used for educational purposes; it is a tool for teaching economics, history, finance, and classics. Portions of the collection are exhibited publicly at hillsdale college events across the country, extending the educational benefits of the collection to a much wider audience that includes business owners, educators, community leaders, and other interested citizens. Special library collections - in addition to the main study and research collections, hillsdale college's mossey library contains a number of rare and special holdings, including the ludwig von mises library and the richardson heritage room early and rare editions. Ludwig von mises, the father of austrian economics, chose hillsdale college to be the recipient of his personal library because of the school's commitment to teach the principles of freedom. This important collection of books, pamphlets, and papers related to free-market economics is housed in the ludwig von mises room in mossey library and is available to the hillsdale faculty and students for research. The richardson heritage room contains a collection of rare- and first-edition books that relate to our country's founding and early american history. Liberty walk - as a symbol of its dedication to liberty, the college began in 2003 to establish the liberty walk, a series of statues throughout the campus that daily remind students, faculty, and visitors of those who labored to defend freedom. To date, the collection includes eight statues: the alpha kappa phi civil war soldiers monument, 1895; george washington, 2003; winston churchill, 2004; margaret thatcher, 2008; thomas jefferson, 2009; abraham lincoln, 2009; ronald reagan, 2011; and frederick douglass, 2017. All statues have been funded through private donations. Pre-columbian art collection - a collection of statues, pottery, jewelry, and carved or woven vessels, these artifacts date from as early as 500 b.c. To as late as 1532 a.d., and originate from various regions of central and south america. Including work from cultures such as the mayans and incas, they represent art in the americas before the introduction of european cultural influence. The artifacts are available for faculty and student use, especially by those studying prehistoric and non-western art. Daniel m. Fisk museum of natural history - established in 1874 by professor daniel moses fisk, the fisk museum of natural history contains thousands of biological, geological, and archaeological specimens. The fisk museum serves as a point of discovery for visitors to the college, instructional material for hillsdale college courses, and research specimens for hillsdale college and the greater scientific community. Two recent additions to the collection include real-bone dinosaur skeletons of an edmontosaurus annectens and a triceratops.”
