Marathon County Historical Society presents: The 1920’s: Rebellion, Prosperity and Loss
FOR MMC
The newest exhibit at the Marathon County Historical Society, “The 1920s: Rebellion, Prosperity and
Loss” is now open on the second-floor exhibit space of the Woodson History Center.
Step back in time 100 years to learn what life was like in the roaring ‘20s and see how things were
rapidly changing, even here in Marathon County, Wisconsin. This exhibit captures the excitement
around new forms of media like the radio and moving pictures, the realities of enforcing a national
Prohibition of alcohol, the growth of electrified appliances to modernize life at work and in the home,
and much more.
This exhibit was generously funded by the Dudley Foundation and by the Community Foundation of
North Central Wisconsin.
The Woodson History Center is located at 410 McIndoe Street, Wausau, Wisconsin. Hours are
Tuesday – Friday 9 am to 4:30 pm and Friday and Saturday 1 pm to 4:30 pm. Admission is free.
