Retirement Party for Dr. Charles R. Preston
Draper Natural History Museum Tile Map
Friday, December 14
4 p.m.
Join us as we say farewell to Dr. Charles R. Preston as he retires from his current position as the Buffalo Bill Center of the West’s Willis McDonald IV Senior Curator of Natural Science, and Founding Curator of the Draper Natural History Museum. Chuck, a museum- and academic professional since 1973, came to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West to plan and design the addition of the Draper Natural History Museum in 1998. He has served as curator of the natural science component of the Center for the past 20 years.
Chuck and his wife Penny will now divide their time between Cody and the Ozarks in Arkansas, spending half of each year in each place. He continues with the Center of the West in a new role, that of Senior Curator Emeritus and Senior Scientist.
We celebrate Chuck’s past 20 years with the Center, and look forward to his new position here.
