STORIES & ARTIFACTS.

SER. WILLIAM H.W. PACKET.

Each and every artifact in the MoKW, tells it’s own unique story, transposed across culture, time, history, and place. We encourage our guests to explore the MoKW at their own special pace and find the ideas and themes that connect all of these unique stories.

Ser. William H.W. Packet was an explorer, naturalist, and captain to grandest expedition of the age of sail, the Aurora Expedition. His wife, Edith Packet, was a philanthropist, writer, and often considered the first female lepidopterist, but by far their greatest legacy is that of the MoKW.

ACQUISITION & DISCOVERY.

The MoKW sits in the heart of Newfield’s historic downtown. During the 1000 World’s Progress Expo, the Artifacts of The Known World Exhibit debuted in this exact location. Following it’s success the building remained, and the MoKW was born.

The MoKW continues to add new objects and artifacts to its collection to this very day. The Museum of the Known World: Collection Department participates in excavations across the globe in collaboration with partners in host countries.
