Traveling exhibit to explore the 1960s

“Coming of Age, The 1968 Generation” is on display through Dec. 30 at the Wadena County Museum. 

This traveling exhibit from the Minnesota History Center explores the self-expression, upheaval, change and sounds of the 60s and the Vietnam War. 

Growing up amidst political turmoil and revolutionary social change had a lasting impact on teens in the late 1960s. The exhibit looks at the pivotal events, both far away and close to home, that forever shaped the lives of this generation.

In “Coming of Age: The 1968 Generation,” visitors will glimpse into the lives of Minnesotans who grew up in and around 1968. The exhibit features six graphic panels, a computer game show activity about the songs of that era, and a kiosk displaying video clips featuring famous people and events. 

The Wadena County Museum is located at 603 Jefferson St. N., Wadena and is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. For more information or to book group tours call 218 631-9079 or email 603wchs@arvig.net.
