This exhibition focuses on a unique era of high prosperity in the U.S. and how it sets local lives apart from people in other countries. Captured in film, photographs and iconic artifacts are the tales of poignant people and events. Our sense of history, especially how it affected local ancestors, is often distorted by Hollywood movies, theatrical productions and television programs. On view from July 26 to October 18, this exhibition tells the real story of this awkward period and allows visitors to experience a fascinating look into this transitional time. Museum hours are Tuesday-Saturday from 10am-4:30pm and Sunday from 1pm-4:30pm.
