Our Lives, Our Stories: America's Greatest Generation August 30 - October 20, 2013 Hours: Tues.-Sun. 1-5 p.m. FREE Explore the life arc of America's Greatest Generation: the stories of their lives from birth to old age, told in their own words, in the Midwest debut of a national traveling exhibition. Born in the 1910s and '20s, this generation was shaped by their experiences during the Great Depression and World War II, creating both the Baby Boom and the postwar economic surge. Features include personal anecdotes and photos, a variety of domestic and cultural objects, and multi-media displays. An interactive kiosk with interviews of Elmhurst residents from this era offers a local perspective. Developed by the Minnesota Historical Society and toured by Mid-America Arts Alliance through NEH on the Road.
