Miss Jane Beverley Evans, a Florence community leader, artist and member of the League, met a Mr. Chapman of the Santa Fe Museum, now the Museum of New Mexico, while traveling in the Southwest during 1924-25. Mr. Chapman was selling a surplus of Indian pottery to other museums. Miss Evans reorganized the Tea Room Committee into a museum in order to purchase pottery in the amount of $400.
