The museum presents “Every Minute Counts – Photographs by Katherine Joseph.” Katherine Joseph was born in the Ukraine and immigrated with her family to the United States in the early 20th century. After a childhood in El Paso and Chicago, she made an adventurous move to New York City to pursue a passion for photography. She landed a job as staff photographer for the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, where she explored the relationship between worker, machine and the industrial environment. In 1941 she embarked on a photojournalistic expedition to Mexico to demonstrate the durability of the “Americar” manufactured by the Willys – Overland Motor Company. Joseph continued to document American workers on the home front after returning to New York. At the end of the war, like millions of American women of her generation, she set aside her camera to marry and raise a family. Katherine Joseph’s photographs display a profound respect for the fundamental dignity of the people she brought into focus. This is the first public exhibition of her work.

Grand Opening celebration!
Barbur Vista, a small scale residential care facility (12 single rooms and 2 double rooms) has been created with the needs of Kosher observant Jews in mind. We provide 3 meals and 2 snacks a day, medication management, daily activities that range from exercise to musical entertainment, assistance with laundry, bathing, and other daily living essentials as needed. Because we are a small facility, we are able to provide specialized care in a home like setting, in many cases, thru the end of life. The facility is provided oversight by a nurse, who can provide advice, assessment of changes and nurse delegations for some nursing tasks as needed, ensuring you or your loved ones receive the best care possible! We pride ourselves on getting to know our residents and families very well, and we’d like to get to know you!
