Tarkio College was established in 1883 by the Honorable David Rankin. The Tarkio College Alumni Association is excited to be a part of the celebration of Mr. Rankin’s birthday in May. Their museum, located in Rankin Hall on the Tarkio College campus, will be open. Hours are pending at this time. Did you know that Tarkio College won a national basketball tournament for small colleges in 1940? Come see the trophy and other materials. Did you know that a TC graduate invented nylon? Come see the display regarding this inventor. Did you know a TC graduate founded the Mule Barn Theatre? Come see this display plus many other exciting items. The exhibit will also feature a painting by the noted Colorado artist, Lonnie Nixon. This painting features the original Rankin home, the Mule Barn and David Rankin himself. Come and see. Further updates will be announced closer to May.
