objects once familiar that are now just a memory. Comprised of items that

the vinyl record album, trading stamps, and afternoon bridge parties, all
of which are now considered old-fashioned or obsolete. Trace the history
of recorded music from cylinder records in the 1890s to 8-track players in
the 1960s to the MP3 players of today. Learn the role that the milkman
played in many communities and why the corner grocery store was a central
part of the neighborhood. Join us to explore the past and the changes
influenced by technology and popular culture. Tuesdays thru Thursdays:

inspiration. Whether the bird is used as a metaphor, to make an ecological
statement, as an object of beauty, or to enliven a landscape or seascape,
this annual exhibition is always a soaring achievement. Always Free
Admission. Closed Monday and Holidays.
