Current Exhibit- Our Lives, Our Stories

Who speaks for the experiences of a generation and their impact on the world around them? What experiences help to create a sense of shared identity?

Our Lives, Our Stories: America's Greatest Generation, a new exhibition opening this month at the Red Cloud Opera House, explores the life arc of the World War II generation-as told in their own words. Born in the 1910s and 1920s, these people were decisively shaped by the Depression and World War II. They went on to make the "baby boom" and shape the economic boom of the postwar era. Today - well into the 21st century - we are all living with their legacy. But who are these people upon whom the title of "greatest" has been bestowed?
