In 1990, Charles W. Guildner set out to photograph the landscape and lives of the people of the rural heartland. His phenomenal series "Lives of Tradition" and an exhibition "Lives of Tradition — Impressions in Silver" at the Great Plains Art Museum were born of this goal. The Great Plains Art Museum will become the home for Guildner's photographs, negatives, and archives.
