Adorned with a new stunning slate floor mosaic in its entryway, the Slate Valley Museum can now mark the completion of over a year of renovations after flooding from Hurricane Irene damaged the museum and destroyed the Cultural Campus surrounding the museum. Within hours after flood waters receded from the Slate Valley Museum, Granville stone artist Jim Morris began work painstakingly cleaning layers of mud, silt and flood debris from the Slate Valley Museum's tile and mosaic slate floors. Thick silt required each tile to be hand cleaned with a conservator's approach that Morris mastered, making sure that silt was not re-deposited on newly cleaned floors. Once the cleaning process was complete, Morris began conservation work on the iconic mosaic slate floor he created for the Slate Valley Museum almost a decade ago.
