EXHIBIT: “HOME ENTERTAINMENT OF THE LAST CENTURY”

Sunnyvale Historical Society & Museum

What did people do for entertainment before gadgets and electronics? Well, they played games, listened to the radio, invited friends, went to the movies and concerts, or played music themselves. Many artifacts will come out of storage to show activities people found amusing in the early 20th century. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the opening of this exhibit will be slightly delayed to mid-February. Look for updates on Facebook and the Sunnyvale Historical Society website.
