 The Beltrami County Historical Society has a groovy new exhibit that explores everything about life in the 1960s. The exhibit is called Coming of Age and it's on loan from the Minnesota State Historical Society. There's information about American life from 50 years ago, as well as Minnesota life in the decade. The Historical Society took the time to make it extra unique by pulling out some local Beltrami County artifacts from the 1960s too. Visitors have a lot of opportunities for interactive displays and components. There's sort of a video game show about music of the 60s. There are all sorts of displays about everything from the dress and attire of the 1960s to what was going on politically, the war in Vietnam, some of the notable figures at that moment in time. The display is not just panels and facts, it's made to be extremely interactive. Visitors can even add their own personal touch to the display by sharing their memories from this decade. People have an opportunity actually to sort of add their own voice to the exhibit. So we're asking folks to write down their reminiscences about 1968 on little pieces of paper, slip them into an available slot in the display and that will become sort of part and parcel with the exhibit as it travels throughout the state of Minnesota. So that's real neat. Some 1960s mementos can also be found in the Historical Society's gift shop. The exhibit will be on display until March.
