About the event
The word ROAR was given to this decade because of its high energy, noise and intensity. These ten years featured everything from the sound of cars and jazz to the ROAR of the stock market. Popular expressions like the bee’s knees and the cat’s meow summed up this decade of silent films, prohibition, and flappers.
Not many of us can remember living in the ‘20s, but we certainly have heard about this decade. Names like Al Capone, Babe Ruth, Louis Armstrong and Charlie Chaplin are familiar to everyone.
A special grand opening event has been planned for this new exhibit on Saturday, June 27 from 12-3 in the Freight Station parking lot. Cars from the ‘20s will be on display, courtesy of the Rolls-Royce Foundation located on Hempt Road. Local owners have also volunteered to show their cars.
