40. "the way their ancestors live today". .a phrase that was on an information

board at the Living History museum in Cripple Creek. Sadly, that was not the only error I found in the otherwise interesting exhibit. When I pointed out the various errors, I was told that they had all been done by volunteers. Was nobody in charge? Was nobody responsible for proofreading what the museum would be presenting to visitors?

I think the staff was very relieved when I left.
