With busy hands and minds American workers perform a diverse array of jobs to power our society. Work is part of nearly every American’s life, whether for professional satisfaction and personal growth or to ensure the well-being of their families. In offices, factories, on the road, and at home, millions keep the nation going through contributions to industry and American culture.
The Smithsonian Institution’s The Way We Worked, adapted from the original exhibition developed by the National Archives, explores how work became such a central element in American culture by tracing the many changes that affected the workforce and work environments over the past 150 years. The exhibition draws from the Archives’ rich collections to tell this compelling story. It will be presented at the Andrew County Museum from May 5-June 2.
The exhibit, A Rural Way of Life, interprets the rich heritage of Andrew County from 1841 into the 21st century. The exhibit follows two tracks, exploring the history of farming and small towns. Learn how men, women and their children pulled together to make family farms a success. View how kitchens in farmhouses changed over time, and take home recipes for fried chicken from 1900 and Swiss steak from 1950. Enjoy a segment of a silent movie projected on the side of a brick building just like in the early 1900s. Visit a general store. Learn about the cycle of life in rural places from childhood through family life and death. Hear old-time radio programs from the 1930s.
