Talkin’ ‘Bout My Generation: Fairfield in the 1960s and 1970s
| March 13, 2017 — September 17, 2017 |
Explore how the changing culture and politics of the 1960s and 1970s affected Fairfield and its region. Costumes from the Museum’s collection highlighted the fashion of the era, and a timeline illustrated how the key national events of these turbulent decades were echoed in the local area. Stories of Fairfielders who served in the Vietnam War and those who protested against it were both included. Selected record albums and a soundtrack represented the vital role of popular music during this era. High school and local memorabilia evoked memories of growing up in Fairfield during these years of change for the town.
