Join Curator Juli McLoone for coffee and conversation about the exhibit Faster and More Fun: American Home Cooking in the 1920s. Learn more about the books and artifacts featured in the exhibit, the titles that didn’t quite fit it into the exhibit cases, and the story of how this exhibit’s narrative took shape. Coffee and tea will be served.

Enjoy this latest exhibit from the Special Collections Research Center.
